-About the role-

• This role is open to engineers with a machine learning background who have worked on large-scale development of video generation models or foundation models, as well as the MLOps / data infrastructure, distillation, optimization, and on-device deployment that supports them. (Experience in autonomous driving / CV / robotics is a plus.)◆
• At Turing, we are developing an End-to-End autonomous driving model that takes input from vehicle-mounted cameras and directly controls the vehicle. As we work toward full self-driving, we are in an exploratory phase — combining imitation learning with the rapid advances in video generation and world model research to actively find what works.
• In particular, large-scale pretraining on not only driving data but also general video data (video generation, self-supervised learning, etc.) has been shown to significantly boost downstream task performance (behavior prediction, planning, etc.), and this trend is growing stronger. With this in mind, Turing is pursuing a World Action Model (WAM) approach — a unified pipeline that spans modern model families such as video generation models, image/video foundation models (e.g., DINOv3, V-JEPA-style concepts), and world models — from training at scale, through validation and downstream task integration, to distillation, quantization, inference optimization, and final deployment on real vehicles.
• We are looking for members who can take these ambitious research directions all the way to something that actually works in the real world.

What you will work on

• ML development centered on WAM (World Action Model) for autonomous driving
• Large-scale pretraining (scaling training with driving data + general video data, etc.)
• Modeling, implementation, and validation using video generation models and world models
• Validation and application of image/video foundation models based on self-supervised learning (e.g., DINOv3, V-JEPA-style, etc.)
• Application to downstream tasks (e.g., behavior prediction, planning), evaluation design, and improvement
• Model compression and acceleration via distillation, quantization, and inference optimization
• Building and improving experimental infrastructure (data pipelines, reproducibility, experiment management, model operations)
• Literature review and implementation validation in related areas (Transformers, robotics, world models, etc.)

Enjoy being at the frontier of Physical AI

• Giving AI a physical presence and enabling it to deliver value in the real world — autonomous driving is exactly where humanity is pushing this frontier today. You will need to build unique ML pipelines while leveraging the knowledge already accumulated within the company. We are looking for someone who can drive development in a domain with almost no existing reference points.

Test your model in the real world

• Our development cycle: Build dataset & model → Drive test → Analyze experiment logs → Manage model. You will iterate on your models by experiencing them firsthand in a real vehicle. Use feedback from the physical world to drive your development forward.

Who is thriving in this role

• Engineers with strengths in robotics, world models, or autonomous driving (behavior prediction, planning, etc.) who have led model development
• Engineers who have pursued large-scale data preprocessing, filtering, and data quality design, and have achieved training reproducibility and scaling in practice
• Engineers from research labs or corporate research teams who have taken exploratory topics all the way from implementation → validation → improvement to tangible results
• Engineers who can quickly catch up with the work of leading researchers and recent papers, reproduce and extend them, and connect the results to product or on-vehicle validation
