Role Overview: Optical Engineer Specializing in Python – Freelance AI Trainer

Work remotely from Wisconsin, United States, contributing to AI projects that require deep expertise in physics and Python programming. Each assignment brings its own set of challenges, which may include:

  • Creating original computational physics problems that mirror real-world research workflows.
  • Designing problems that must be solved using Python, often with libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy.
  • Developing computationally intensive scenarios that cannot be solved manually within days or weeks.
  • Writing problems that demand complex reasoning across mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.
  • Basing problems on real research questions or practical applications in physics.
  • Verifying solutions in Python using established physics simulation libraries.
  • Documenting problem statements clearly and providing verified, correct answers.

Who Thrives in This Role

This freelance position suits optical engineers with Python experience who are interested in part-time, temporary projects. Candidates should have:

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