About this role
Research Engineer / Scientist (SLAM) San Francisco About World Labs: We build foundational world models that can perceive, generate, reason, and interact with the 3D world - unlocking AI's full potential through spatial intelligence by transforming seeing into doing, perceiving into reasoning, and imagining into creating. We believe spatial intelligence will unlock new forms of storytelling, creativity, design, simulation, and immersive experiences across both virtual and physical worlds. We bring together a world-class team, united by a shared curiosity, passion, and deep backgrounds in technology - from AI research to systems engineering to product design - creating a tight feedback loop between our cutting-edge research and products that empower our users. Role Overview We're looking for a SLAM Specialist to design, implement, and advance state-of-the-art simultaneous localization and mapping systems that enable accurate, robust spatial understanding from real-world sensor data. This role is focused on modern SLAM techniques-both classical and learning-based-with an emphasis on scalable state estimation, sensor fusion, and long-term mapping in complex, dynamic environments. This is a hands-on, research-driven role for someone who enjoys working at the intersection of robotics, computer vision, and probabilistic inference. You'll collaborate closely with research scientists, ML engineers, and systems teams to translate cutting-edge SLAM ideas into production-ready capabilities that form the backbone of our world modeling stack. What You Will Do: - Design and implement modern SLAM systems for real-world environments, including visual, visual-inertial, lidar, or multi-sensor configurations. - Develop robust localization and mapping pipelines, including pose estimation, map management, loop closure,
