Job description
What the role actually is
Applied Intuition is hiring research scientists for its AI research group, with this posting focused on world-action foundation models for robotics. The team frames the work around next-generation physical AI, especially end-to-end autonomous driving and robotic generalists.
This is an in-office Sunnyvale research role. It is relevant to the board because the work is about how embodied systems represent the world, choose actions, and generalize across tasks.
What you would work on
Research world-action model approaches for robots and autonomous systems
Build experiments that connect model behavior to physical AI performance
Work with a research group spanning robotics, autonomy, simulation, and data
Turn research results into infrastructure that can support real robotic systems
What they are asking for
Research strength in machine learning, robotics, embodied AI, or foundation models
Ability to design and evaluate experiments for action-generating systems
Publication, implementation, or applied research evidence in relevant areas
Comfort working in a highly technical in-office research environment
Why this one is worth a look
World models are becoming a central bet in robot learning. Applied's angle is worth tracking because it is trying to connect that research to infrastructure for moving machines, not only to a lab demo or a single robot form factor.
