About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, clearly indicating your level of English proficiency.
Mindrift is dedicated to connecting talented specialists with project-based AI roles for leading technology firms, focusing on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. This position is project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design innovative computational engineering challenges that replicate real-world engineering workflows;
- Craft problems that necessitate Python programming for solving engineering calculations and simulations;
- Ensure that the challenges are computationally intensive, requiring numerical methods or iterative solutions;
- Develop tasks related to system design, optimization, and analytical processes;
- Base challenges on genuine research questions or practical applications from engineering practices;
- Validate solutions using Python with standard engineering libraries;
- Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct solutions.
Qualifications:
This role is ideal for engineers experienced in Python and open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Candidates should possess:
- A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or other domain-specific libraries is acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, including applied, research, or teaching experience;
- A strong understanding of practical engineering constraints and approximations;
- Excellent written English (C1+ proficiency);
- Professional certifications (e.g., CMME, SAS Certifications, CAP) and experience in international or applied projects are advantageous.
How the Process Works:
Apply → Pass qualifications → Engage in a project → Complete assigned tasks → Get compensated.
Project Time Commitment:
Tasks are projected to require approximately 10–20 hours per week during active phases of the project, contingent on project requirements. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload, applicable only during the project's active duration.
Compensation:
Contributors can earn up to $31 per hour, based on their experience and contribution pace. Compensation may vary across projects depending on their scope, complexity, and expertise required. Note that compensation levels may differ in other projects available on the platform.
