About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, including your proficiency level in the language.
At Mindrift, we specialize in connecting talented individuals with project-based AI opportunities at leading technology firms. Our focus is on testing, evaluating, and enhancing AI systems. Please note that these opportunities are project-based and do not lead to permanent employment.
Overview of the Role
Each project encompasses distinct tasks, and contributors may be responsible for:
- Creating innovative computational engineering problems that reflect real-world engineering workflows;
- Developing problems that necessitate Python programming for engineering calculations and simulations;
- Ensuring that the problems are computationally demanding and utilize numerical methods or iterative solutions;
- Formulating problems related to system design, optimization, and analysis;
- Using real research challenges or practical applications from engineering practice as a basis for problems;
- Validating solutions through Python using established engineering libraries;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct answers.
Candidate Profile
This role is ideal for engineers experienced in Python who are open to part-time, non-permanent project work. Candidates should ideally possess:
- A degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, and other domain-specific libraries is also acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of relevant professional experience, which can include applied, research, or teaching experience;
- A solid understanding of practical engineering constraints and approximations;
- Fluency in written English (C1 level or above);
- Professional certifications (e.g., CMME, SAS Certifications, CAP) and experience with international or applied projects will be considered advantageous.
How To Get Started
Application Process: Apply → Complete qualifications → Join a project → Complete tasks → Receive compensation.
Project Time Commitment
For this role, project tasks are expected to require approximately 10–20 hours per week during active phases, depending on project needs. This estimate is not a guaranteed workload and applies only when the project is active.
Compensation Details
Contributors can earn up to $9 per hour, depending on their experience and contribution pace. Compensation may vary across different projects based on their scope, complexity, and required expertise. Note that other projects on the platform may offer varying earning levels based on specific requirements.
