About the Role

Our team is seeking a talentedMachine Learning Internto join us for a period of 3-6 months and propel our ambitious research in embodied foundation models forward.

We're not just another team; we're a dynamic blend of Applied Scientists, Machine Learning Engineers, and Software Engineers united together to apply state-of-the-art research to the road. From pioneering advancements in large-scale, multi-modal embodied Foundation Models, Offline Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), our projects are designed to dramatically enhance our capabilities in embodied AI. But it's not just about what we do—it's how we do it. We believe in the power of cross-functional collaboration, rigour in engineering, and a relentless pursuit of innovation.

In this role, you might:

● Contribute to the Wayve Foundation Model, including large scale pretraining, posttraining, leveraging 3D priors or improving spatial understanding.

● Help us efficiently train models with large-scale data and evaluate performance on open (and closed) datasets/benchmarks.

● Publish your work as an intern at a top tier conference (e.g., CVPR, ICCV, CoRL, NeurIPS, CoLM, RSS, ICRA, among others).
● Develop tools for data visualisation, understanding, and exploration.

You’d be a great match for this role if:

● You have previous experience in world models, vision-language models, large language models, natural language processing, computer vision, 3D priors, SLAM, or robotics.

● You have solid software engineering fundamentals, especially in Python

● You have previously used PyTorch or a similar library for deep learning (e.g. Tensorflow, JAX). Experience with distributed training a plus.

● You are interested in using large scale datasets to improve embodied AI.

Essentials:

● You are currently pursuing a graduate degree in a Computer Science, Machine Learning, Robotics, or related technical field.

● You are proficient in at least one backend/systems programming language (e.g. Python, Ruby, Java, etc).

We understand that everyone has a unique set of skills and experiences and that not everyone will meet all of the requirements listed above. If you’re passionate about self-driving cars and think you have what it takes to make a positive impact on the world, we encourage you to apply.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next AI Jobs Hub

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly moved from research labs into boardrooms, classrooms, hospitals, and homes. It is already reshaping economies and transforming industries at a scale comparable to the industrial revolution or the rise of the internet. Around the world, countries are competing fiercely to lead in AI innovation and reap its economic, social, and strategic benefits. The United Kingdom is uniquely positioned in this race. With a rich heritage in computing, world-class universities, forward-thinking government policy, and a growing ecosystem of startups and enterprises, the UK has many of the elements needed to become the world’s next AI hub. Yet competition is intense, particularly from the United States and China. Success will depend on how effectively the UK can scale its strengths, close its gaps, and seize opportunities in the years ahead. This article explores why the UK could be the world’s next global hub for artificial intelligence, what challenges it must overcome, and what this means for businesses, researchers, and job seekers.

The Best Free Tools & Platforms to Practise AI Skills in 2025/26

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the fastest-growing career fields in the UK and worldwide. Whether you are a student exploring AI for the first time, a graduate looking to build your portfolio, or an experienced professional upskilling for career growth, having access to free tools and platforms to practise AI skills can make a huge difference.
