At Mindrift, we connect skilled professionals with exciting, project-based AI opportunities in collaboration with leading technology firms. Our focus is on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. Please note that participation is on a project basis and does not constitute permanent employment.
Key Responsibilities:
As a contributor, you will engage in various tasks that may include:
- Creating mechanical engineering problems suitable for both academic and industry contexts, based on real-world applications.
- Evaluating AI-generated solutions for accuracy, underlying assumptions, and engineering soundness.
- Using Python libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, and Pandas to validate analytical or numerical outcomes.
- Refining AI reasoning processes to ensure they adhere to fundamental principles and established engineering standards.
- Employing structured assessment criteria to evaluate complex problem-solving activities.
Qualifications:
This role is ideal for mechanical engineers with Python skills who are interested in part-time, non-permanent engagements. The ideal candidate will possess:
- A degree in Mechanical Engineering or related fields, such as Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Mechanical Design, or Computational Mechanics.
- A minimum of 3 years of professional experience in mechanical engineering.
- Excellent written English skills (C1/C2 level).
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation tasks.
- A reliable internet connection.
Professional certifications (such as PE, CEng, or PMP) and experience with international or applied projects will be considered advantageous.
How the Process Works:
Application → Qualification Assessment → Project Engagement → Task Completion → Payment
