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.

How to Write an AI CV that Beats ATS (UK examples)

Writing an AI CV for the UK market is about clarity, credibility, and alignment. Recruiters spend seconds scanning the top third of your CV, while Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) check for relevant skills & recent impact. Your goal is to make both happy without gimmicks: plain structure, sharp evidence, and links that prove you can ship to production. This guide shows you exactly how to do that. You’ll get a clean CV anatomy, a phrase bank for measurable bullets, GitHub & portfolio tips, and three copy-ready UK examples (junior, mid, research). Paste the structure, replace the details, and tailor to each job ad.

AI Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK AI hiring has shifted from titles & puzzle rounds to skills, portfolios, evals, safety, governance & measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews, and how to prepare—especially for LLM application, MLOps/platform, data science, AI product & safety roles. Who this is for: AI/ML engineers, LLM engineers, data scientists, MLOps/platform engineers, AI product managers, applied researchers & safety/governance specialists targeting roles in the UK.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.
