Senior Research Manager, World Model Evaluation

At NVIDIA, we’re not just building the future, we’re generating it! Our world model team is pushing the boundaries of multimodal AI, robotics, and world foundation models for Physical AI. We are looking for a Senior Research Manager to lead world-model evaluation and benchmarking across NVIDIA’s Physical AI model portfolio. This role will build the team and research agenda for evaluating world models through closed-system evaluations, where the model under test is pluggable, and open-system evaluations, where access to model internals enables deeper diagnostics, causal analysis, and mechanistic evaluation.


This is not only about leaderboards. It is about defining what makes a world model useful for Physical AI, discovering model failures, and turning those findings into better data, training recipes, model roadmaps, and downstream systems. The team will build a closed improvement loop across model evaluation, failure discovery, data generation, post-training, and re-eval...
