About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, noting your proficiency level.
Mindrift specializes in connecting experts with dynamic, project-based AI opportunities in collaboration with leading technology firms. Our focus is on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. This is a project-based role, not a permanent position.
Opportunity Overview
Each project presents unique challenges, and contributors will:
- Craft original optical problems that replicate authentic physics research processes;
- Ensure problems demand computational solutions that cannot be manually resolved in a reasonable timeframe (days/weeks);
- Formulate problems involving complex reasoning across mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Base challenges on genuine research questions or practical scenarios from optics and physics;
- Clearly document problem statements and supply verified correct answers.
Desired Qualifications
This role is ideal for optical engineers seeking flexible, part-time, non-permanent projects. We prefer candidates who possess:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or related disciplines;
- At least 2 years of professional experience in applied, research, or teaching roles;
- Familiarity with numerical simulation techniques;
- Adeptness in designing problems that reflect real physics research workflows;
- Innovative thinking in problem design across various physics domains;
- Experience with physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Strong written English proficiency (C1+).
Project Engagement Process
