About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English and specify your level of English proficiency.
At Mindrift, we connect experts with project-specific AI opportunities for top technology firms, focusing on the evaluation, testing, and enhancement of AI systems. Please note that participation is project-based, and does not constitute permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview
Each project presents unique challenges, and contributors may be required to:
- Devise original optical problems that closely mimic real-world physics research workflows;
- Ensure that these problems are computationally demanding and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks);
- Create problems necessitating complex reasoning chains in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Base problems on actual research challenges or practical applications from the fields of optics and physics;
- Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct solutions.
Desired Qualifications
This role is ideal for optical engineers seeking part-time, non-permanent projects. We prefer candidates who possess:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related field;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, whether in applied, research, or teaching roles;
- Experience with numerical simulation techniques;
- The capability to design problems that reflect real physics research workflows;
- Creative thinking in problem design across various physics disciplines;
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation strategies;
- Strong written English proficiency (C1+).
