About the job
We kindly request that you submit your CV in English, along with a clear indication of your English language proficiency.
Mindrift connects talented specialists with project-based AI opportunities from leading technology firms, focusing on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. Please note that participation is project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.
Role Overview
Each project presents its own unique challenges, and contributors may be expected to:
- Craft innovative computational engineering problems that replicate real-world engineering workflows;
- Develop problems that necessitate Python programming for solving engineering calculations and simulations;
- Ensure problems are computationally intensive and utilize numerical methods or iterative solutions;
- Create problems related to system design, optimization, and analysis;
- Base problems on genuine research challenges or practical applications within engineering;
- Validate solutions using Python and standard engineering libraries;
- Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct answers.
Desired Qualifications
This role is ideal for engineers with experience in Python who are open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, candidates will possess:
- A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, or any comparable programming language is also acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, including applied, research, or teaching experience;
- Understanding of practical engineering limitations and approximations;
- Strong written English skills (C1+ level);
- Professional certifications (e.g., CMME, SAS Certifications, CAP) and experience in international or applied projects are advantageous.
How the Process Works
Apply → Successfully pass qualification(s) → Engage in a project → Complete assigned tasks → Receive payment.
Project Time Expectations
For this project, tasks are estimated to require approximately 10–20 hours per week during active phases, depending on project demands. This is an estimate and does not guarantee a specific workload, applicable only while the project is ongoing.
Compensation
Contributors may earn up to $50 per hour, contingent on their expertise and contribution pace. Compensation varies across projects based on scope, complexity, and required skill set. Note that other projects on the platform may offer different earning potentials based on their specific requirements.
