**Company:** [Laplacian Robotics](http://jobs.workable.com/companies/iLQjc6c5aJVhbpe9ngmNN8.md)
**Location:** Seongnam-si, South Korea
**Workplace:** on site
**Employment type:** Full-time
**Department:** Engineering

## Description

Action-conditioned world model을 학습하여 로봇의 미래 상태를 예측하고, virtual rollout과 action search를 통해 더 높은 성공 가능성을 가진 action을 생성·선별하는 역할입니다. 로봇이 '행동하기 전에 상상하고 검증'할 수 있게 만드는, Laplacian AI Core의 예측·계획 축을 담당합니다 

In this role, you will train the action-conditioned world models to predict a robot's future states, and use virtual rollouts and action search to generate and select actions with higher probability of success. You will also own the "prediction-and-planning axis of AI Core", letting robots imagine and verify before they act.

-   World Model의 예측 정확도·계획 성능을 정량 평가하는 지표 설계
-   VLA·policy 팀과 협업하여 world model 기반 planning을 실제 policy에 통합  
    
-   Train action-conditioned world models and develop future-state prediction for robots
-   Simulate candidate actions via virtual rollout and assess success likelihood
-   Build action-search/planning pipelines that generate and select better actions
-   Design metrics that quantify world-model prediction accuracy and planning performance
-   Collaborate with VLA/policy teams to integrate world-model-based planning into real policies

-   3–5 years of research/engineering experience in world models, model-based RL,  
    or video/dynamics prediction
-   Hands-on experience designing and training action-conditioned generative models
-   Strong skills in training sequence models (transformers, diffusion, etc.) in Python  
    and PyTorch, including distributed training
-   Experience utilizing or evaluating dynamics/prediction models in robotic or simulated environments
-   Master's degree in CS, AI, Robotics, or equivalent experience

**우대사항 (Preferred)**

-   World model, model-based RL, video prediction 분야 탑티어 학회  
    (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, CoRL, RSS 등) 논문 실적
-   Diffusion·transformer 기반 action-conditioned dynamics 모델을 대규모로 학습해본 경험
-   Long-horizon rollout 안정화, sim-to-real transfer 등 world model 실전 적용 관련 연구 경험

    in world models, model-based RL, or video prediction
-   Experience training diffusion- or transformer-based action-conditioned dynamics models at scale
-   Research experience in practical world model deployment, such as long-horizon rollout stabilization  
    or sim-to-real transfer
-   Experience deploying model-based planning or world-model-based policies on real robots
-   Master/PhD in CS, AI, or Robotics

## Benefits

-   Unlimited AI token (Claude) - AI 도구 사용에 제한이 없습니다.
-   Minimal meetings with fast decision-making - 불필요한 회의를 최소화하고 빠르게 의사결정합니다.
