Job Summary
Snapshot
Join an ambitious team building generative world models. We believe World Models will power numerous domains such as visual reasoning simulation planning for embodied agents and real-time interactive entertainment. The team will contribute directly to building the next generation of generative world models working directly with the Genie team and closely with others such as Robotics.
About Us
Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanitys most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind were a team of scientists engineers machine learning experts and more working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery and collaborate with others on critical challenges ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority
The Role
As a Research Engineer youll use your technical skills and machine learning knowledge in research projects engineering initiatives and applications of research.
Implement core infrastructure and conduct research to build generative models of the physical world. Solve essential problems to train world simulators at massive scale develop metrics and scaling laws for physical intelligence curate and annotate training data enable real-time interactive generation and explore new possibilities for impact with the next generation of models. Embrace the bitter lesson and seek simple methods that survive the test of scale with emphasis on strong systems and infrastructure.
Areas of focus:
- Infrastructure for large-scale video data pipelines and annotation.
- Inference optimization and distillation for real-time generation.
- Scaling law science for video pretraining.
- Next generation forms of interactivity.
- Methods for long term memory in world models.
- Model research that unlocks additional scaling and improved capabilities.
About You
We take a holistic view of peoples backgrounds and do not expect you to be an expert in all areas. We invest a lot of time in training and helping people to continually learn as part of their role.
In order to set you up for success as a Research Engineer at Google DeepMind we look for the following skills and experience:
- Experience with large-scale transformer models and/or large-scale data pipelines.
- Degree in computer science or machine learning or equivalent industry experience.
- Track record of releases publications and/or open source projects relating to video generation world models multimodal language models or transformer architectures.
- Strong systems and engineering skills in deep learning frameworks like JAX or PyTorch.
In addition the following would be an advantage:
- Experience building training codebases for large-scale video or multimodal transformers.
- Expertise optimizing efficiency of distributed training systems and/or inference systems.
- Experience with distillation of diffusion models.
At Google DeepMind we value diversity of experience knowledge backgrounds and perspectives and harness these qualities to create extraordinary impact.
