About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, along with your English proficiency level.
At Mindrift, we connect talented professionals with project-based AI opportunities at leading technology companies. Our focus is on the testing, evaluation, 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 that may include:
- Creating original computational physics problems that reflect authentic physics research workflows.
- Developing problems that necessitate Python programming for solutions, utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy.
- Designing computationally demanding problems that cannot be resolved manually within practical timeframes (days to weeks).
- Formulating problems that require complex reasoning across topics like mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.
- Grounding problems in real research issues or practical applications from the field of physics.
- Verifying solutions through Python using established physics simulation libraries.
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct answers.
Ideal Candidate Profile:
This position is well-suited for optical engineers with Python experience who are open to part-time, temporary projects. Qualified candidates should possess:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related field.
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or any programming language may be acceptable.
- A minimum of 2 years of relevant professional experience, which can include applied, research, or teaching experience.
- Background in numerical simulation methods.
- Capability to design problems that reflect authentic physics research processes.
- Innovative thinking in problem design across various physics disciplines.
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques.
- Strong written English skills (C1+ level).
Application Process:
Apply → Complete qualifications → Join a project → Fulfill tasks → Receive compensation.
Project Commitment:
Estimated project tasks will require approximately 10-20 hours per week during active phases, depending on project specifics. This is an estimate and does not guarantee a specific workload.
Compensation:
Contributors can earn up to $76 per hour, commensurate with their experience and contribution pace. Compensation varies by project based on scope, complexity, and specific expertise required. Note that other projects on our platform may offer different pay scales based on their demands.
