About the job

We invite you to submit your CV in English, along with your English proficiency level.

Mindrift serves as a bridge connecting specialized professionals with project-based opportunities in artificial intelligence for top-tier tech companies, concentrating on the testing, assessment, and enhancement of AI systems. Please note that participation is based on projects, rather than permanent employment.

Project Overview

Each project presents unique challenges, where contributors may be tasked with:

  • Creating original computational physics problems that replicate authentic physics research workflows;
  • Designing problems necessitating Python programming solutions (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy);
  • Ensuring problems are computationally intensive, requiring days or weeks to solve manually;
  • Formulating problems that involve complex reasoning across mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
  • Grounding problems in genuine research obstacles or real-world applications within the field of physics;
  • Validating solutions using Python with standard physics simulation libraries;
  • Thoroughly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct answers.

Ideal Candidate Profile

This opportunity is perfect for optical engineers experienced in Python who are open to part-time, non-permanent roles. The ideal candidates will possess:

  • A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related discipline;
  • Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, Stata, or any programming language can be considered equivalent;
  • Over 2 years of professional experience in applied, research, or teaching roles;
  • Expertise in numerical simulation methods;
  • The capability to design problems reflecting real physics research workflows;
  • Inventive problem design across various physics domains;
  • Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques;
  • Strong command of written English (C1+ level).
