About the job

We invite you to submit your CV in English, clearly indicating your level of English proficiency.

At Mindrift, we bridge the gap between specialists and project-based AI opportunities for leading technology firms, with a focus on testing, evaluating, and enhancing AI systems. Please note that participation is project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.

What This Opportunity Entails

Each project may involve unique tasks; contributors might be expected to:

  • Craft original optics problems that replicate authentic physics research workflows;
  • Ensure these problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within a reasonable time (days or weeks);
  • Develop problems necessitating complex reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
  • Base problems on genuine research challenges or practical applications in optics and physics;
  • Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct answers.

What We Are Looking For

This opportunity is ideal for optical engineers seeking part-time, non-permanent projects. Preferred qualifications include:

  • A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or related fields;
  • A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, including applied, research, or teaching experience;
  • Familiarity with numerical simulation methods;
  • The ability to design problems that reflect real physics research workflows;
  • Creative problem-solving skills across various physics disciplines;
  • Knowledge of physics modeling and approximation techniques;
  • Advanced written English skills (C1+).
