Mindrift is dedicated to connecting skilled professionals with exciting project-based AI opportunities from leading tech companies, focusing on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. This position is project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview:
As a contributor, you will engage in diverse tasks tailored to each project, which may include:
- Designing innovative computational engineering problems that mirror real-world engineering workflows;
- Creating challenging problems that necessitate Python programming for engineering calculations and simulations;
- Ensuring problems are computationally intensive and require advanced numerical methods or iterative solutions;
- Developing problems related to system design, optimization, and analysis;
- Drawing inspiration from real research challenges or practical applications in the engineering field;
- Validating solutions using Python alongside standard engineering libraries;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct answers.
Qualifications:
This role is ideal for engineers with experience in Python who are open to part-time, non-permanent projects. We are looking for candidates who 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 similar libraries is also acceptable;
- At least 2 years of relevant professional experience in applied engineering, research, or teaching;
- A solid understanding of practical engineering constraints and approximations;
- Strong written proficiency in English (C1+ level);
- Professional certifications (e.g., CMME, SAS, CAP) and experience in international or applied projects will be advantageous.
Process:
Apply → Pass qualifications → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get compensated.
Project Time Expectations:
