Mindrift connects skilled professionals with project-based AI opportunities at leading technology firms, focusing on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. Please note that this is a project-based engagement and not a permanent position.
Opportunity Overview
Each project presents unique challenges, where contributors may be tasked with:
- Formulating original material engineering problems that replicate real-world engineering workflows;
- Developing challenges that necessitate Python programming for engineering calculations and simulations;
- Creating computationally intensive problems that require numerical methods or iterative solutions;
- Designing problems related to system design, optimization, and analysis;
- Drawing from real research challenges or practical applications from engineering practice;
- Validating solutions using Python and standard engineering libraries;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct answers.
Candidate Profile
This position is ideal for material scientists and engineers with Python experience who are open to part-time, non-permanent roles. The ideal candidates will possess:
- A degree in Material Science or a related field;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, or any programming language will be considered;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, including applied research or teaching experience;
- A solid understanding of practical engineering constraints and approximations;
- Exceptional written English skills (C1+).
Process Overview
