Waabi’s autonomous-driving stack is powered by Waabi World, which delivers realistic, scalable, controllable, and efficient simulation. As a Research Engineer in the World Models team, you will develop algorithms and productionize the next generation of World Models that can reason about complex, dynamic 4D environments. This role focuses on large-scale world models for temporal reasoning and generation, including video models, multimodal generative models, LLM/VLM/VLA models, and predictive models of traffic participants and scenes. Your work will directly power Waabi World’s ability to model future evolution, synthesize realistic safety-critical scenarios, and provide rich generative priors for downstream planning, testing, and training.
