Role overview

You'll turn Luma's industry-leading generative video models into world models: interactive, controllable, physically faithful, and useful as a substrate for embodied reasoning. Experience using generative models for downstream embodied tasks (planning, control, evaluation). You'll invent next-generation world-model architectures and the controllability that lets an agent step into a generated world, and own the metrics that define success. What You'll OwnInvent next-generation world-model architectures (diffusion, transformer, autoregressive, or hybrid), focused on controllability and physical consistency.

Preferred qualifications

  • Prior work on world models, model-based RL, generative video, neural simulation, or 4D scene representations.
  • Experience using generative models for downstream embodied tasks (planning, control, evaluation).
  • Enthusiasm for open-sourcing frontier models.
