About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, including your proficiency level.
At Mindrift, we specialize in connecting talented individuals with exciting project-based AI opportunities for leading technology firms. Our focus is on testing, evaluating, and enhancing AI systems. Note: This position is project-based and does not entail permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview:
While each project presents its own unique challenges, contributors may:
- Innovate original computational physics problems that emulate authentic physics research workflows;
- Craft problems necessitating Python programming solutions (utilizing Numpy, SciPy, Sympy);
- Ensure that problems demand computational intensity, requiring extended resolution periods (days/weeks);
- Design problems that involve complex reasoning chains in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Base these problems on actual research challenges or practical physics applications;
- Validate solutions through Python with established physics simulation libraries;
- Thoroughly document problem statements and provide verified accurate answers.
Candidate Profile:
This role is ideal for optical engineers with Python experience who are interested in part-time, non-permanent projects. We seek contributors who possess:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related field;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Skills in MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or other programming languages are also acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, whether in applied research or teaching;
- Familiarity with numerical simulation methods;
- The ability to design problems that reflect genuine physics research workflows;
- Creative problem-solving skills across various areas of physics;
- Knowledge of physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Strong written English skills (C1+).
How to Engage:
Apply → Complete qualifications → Join a project → Fulfill tasks → Receive payment.
Project Expectations:
During active phases, tasks are expected to require approximately 10–20 hours per week, depending on project demands. This estimate is not a guaranteed workload and applies only while the project is active.
Compensation:
Contributors can earn up to $76 per hour, depending on their skill level and contribution pace. Compensation rates may vary across projects based on their complexity and required expertise.
