Role Overview

As an Optical Engineer specializing in Python for AI training, work centers on developing and validating computational physics challenges that support AI research. Tasks may include:

  • Designing original computational physics problems that mirror real research workflows
  • Writing problems that require Python programming to solve, using tools such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy
  • Ensuring challenges are computationally intensive and not solvable by hand within a reasonable timeframe
  • Developing complex problems in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics
  • Basing problems on real research questions or practical applications in physics
  • Validating solutions in Python with standard physics simulation libraries
  • Documenting problem statements and providing verified solutions

Who Should Apply

This project suits optical engineers with strong Python skills who are interested in flexible, part-time work. The ideal candidate has:

  • A degree in Physics (theoretical, experimental, computational) or a closely related field
  • Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; experience with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, Stata, or other programming languages is also welcome
  • At least 2 years of professional experience in applied, research, or teaching roles
  • Background in numerical simulation methods
  • Experience designing problems that reflect real physics research
  • Creative problem-solving skills across physics domains
  • Familiarity with modeling and approximation techniques in physics
  • Strong written English skills (C1 level or higher)
