About the job
We encourage you to submit your CV in English and specify your level of English proficiency.
At Mindrift, we connect talented specialists with exciting project-based AI opportunities for top-tier tech firms. Our focus is on testing, evaluating, and enhancing AI systems. Please note that participation is project-based and does not entail permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview
While each project presents distinct challenges, contributors may be tasked with:
- Creating innovative optics problems that replicate genuine physics research workflows;
- Ensuring that these problems are computationally demanding and cannot be solved manually within feasible timeframes;
- Formulating problems that necessitate complex reasoning chains across mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Drawing from authentic research dilemmas or practical applications in optics and physics;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct solutions.
Ideal Candidate Profile
This role is perfect for optical engineers who are open to part-time, non-permanent engagements. The ideal candidate will possess:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related field;
- At least 2 years of professional experience, whether in applied work, research, or teaching;
- Proficiency in numerical simulation methodologies;
- The capability to design problems that reflect real-world physics research practices;
- Innovative thinking in problem development across various physics domains;
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation methods;
- Excellent written English skills (C1+).
Application Process
To apply, simply follow these steps: Apply → Pass qualification(s) → Join a project → Complete tasks → Receive payment.
Project Engagement Expectations
For this initiative, the expected workload is approximately 10–20 hours per week during active project phases, contingent upon the specific project requirements. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload.
Compensation Structure
Contributors can earn up to $35 per hour, depending on their skill level and contribution pace. Please be aware that compensation varies across projects based on their scope, complexity, and expertise required. Different projects may present varying earning opportunities.
