About Mindrift
Mindrift connects skilled specialists with project-based AI work for leading technology companies. The focus is on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. This is a freelance, project-based role and not a permanent position.
Role Overview
As an Electrical Engineer and Python Specialist working remotely (with projects based in Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Germany), contributors help design and validate computational engineering challenges for AI training. Each project brings new tasks, which may include:
- Designing computational engineering problems that reflect real-world engineering workflows
- Developing challenges that require Python programming for calculations and simulations
- Ensuring problems are computationally intensive, using numerical methods or iterative solutions
- Focusing on system design, optimization, and analysis within problem sets
- Formulating challenges based on authentic research questions or practical engineering scenarios
- Validating solutions using Python and standard engineering libraries
- Documenting problem statements clearly and providing verified solutions
What We Look For
- Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or similar tools is also valued
- At least 2 years of professional experience (applied, research, or teaching)
- Understanding of practical engineering constraints and approximations
- Strong written English skills (C1 level or above)
- Professional certifications (such as CMME, SAS Certifications, CAP) and experience with international or applied projects are a plus
