DeepRec.ai is partnering exclusively with a well-funded spatial AI company building a foundation model of the physical world, the layer robots and AI agents need to understand real places, not just pixels.
Their London research lab is hiring a Research Scientist into a dedicated Embodied AI group. The focus is closing the sim-to-real gap: turning real-world captures into accurate, simulation-ready environments that robots can be trained and evaluated in.
What you'll work on
- Inventing new algorithms at the overlap of computer vision, machine learning, graphics and robotics
- Advancing a large-scale geospatial model for embodied AI use cases
- 3D reconstruction, scene understanding and spatial reasoning for robots and other machines
- Taking research from paper to working systems used by real robotics teams
- Publishing at top venues alongside a strong, research-led team
What they're looking for
- PhD (or equivalent) in Computer Vision, ML or Robotics
- First-author publications at CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, NeurIPS, ICLR or similar
- Strong grounding in 3D vision: SLAM, SfM, neural rendering, Gaussian splatting or similar
- Excellent research code in PyTorch or JAX
- Bonus: robotics simulation (Isaac Sim, MuJoCo), sim-to-real, VLMs or policy learning
Why it's interesting
- Rare chance to work on embodied AI with real-world data at global scale
- Research-first culture with strong academic links
- Small, senior team where your work ships
