- Developing problems that demand complex reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics
- Basing challenges on real research questions or practical applications in physics
- Validating solutions in Python with established physics simulation libraries
- Documenting problem statements clearly and providing verified answers
Desired Qualifications
- Degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related field
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or similar libraries is also considered
- At least 2 years of professional experience (applied, research, or teaching)
- Familiarity with numerical simulation methods
- Ability to design problems reflecting authentic physics research
- Creative problem-solving skills across physics domains
- Understanding of physics modeling and approximation techniques
- Excellent written English (C1+ level)
