About the job
Kindly submit your CV in English, detailing your proficiency in the language.
Mindrift is a pioneering platform that connects talented specialists with project-based AI opportunities for top-tier tech companies, concentrating on the enhancement, evaluation, and testing of AI systems. Please note that participation is project-based rather than permanent employment.
Role Overview
Each project presents distinct tasks, and contributors may be involved in:
- Crafting innovative computational engineering challenges that reflect real-world engineering workflows;
- Formulating problems that necessitate Python programming for engineering calculations and simulations;
- Ensuring that challenges are computationally demanding and employ numerical methods or iterative solutions;
- Conceiving problems related to system design, optimization, and analysis;
- Drawing from actual research challenges or practical applications in engineering;
- Validating solutions using Python alongside standard engineering libraries;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct answers.
Candidate Profile
This opportunity is ideal for engineers with Python expertise who are open to part-time, non-permanent engagements. Candidates should ideally possess:
- A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or any programming language will also be considered;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, including applied, research, or teaching roles;
- A solid understanding of practical engineering constraints and approximations;
- Strong command of written English (C1+ level);
- Professional certifications (e.g., CMME, SAS Certifications, CAP) and experience in international or applied projects will be advantageous.
Application Process
Apply → Pass qualification(s) → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get compensated.
Project Commitment
During active phases, tasks are projected to require approximately 10–20 hours per week, depending on project demands. Note that this is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload, applicable only while the project is active.
Compensation Structure
Contributors can earn up to $36 per hour based on their level of expertise and contribution pace. Compensation varies across projects depending on their scope, complexity, and required expertise. Please note that different projects on the platform may offer varying compensation levels based on their specific requirements.
