About the job
We kindly request that you submit your CV in English and specify your English proficiency level.
Mindrift serves as a bridge connecting talented individuals with specialized AI projects for prominent technology firms, with a primary focus on the testing, assessment, and enhancement of AI systems. Please note that participation is project-based and does not entail permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview:
While each project encompasses distinctive tasks, contributors may be involved in:
- Creating original optics problems that emulate authentic physics research workflows;
- Ensuring problems are computationally demanding and cannot be resolved manually within practical timeframes (days/weeks);
- Designing problems that necessitate complex reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Formulating problems based on genuine research challenges or practical applications in optics and physics;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct solutions.
Qualifications:
This role is ideally suited for optical engineers who are open to part-time, non-permanent projects. We seek candidates who possess:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or related disciplines;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience in applied, research, or teaching capacities;
- Experience with numerical simulation techniques;
- Adeptness in designing problems that reflect real physics research workflows;
- Innovative thinking in problem design across various physics domains;
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation methodologies;
- Proficient written English (C1+).
Project Workflow:
Application → Qualification(s) → Project Engagement → Task Completion → Payment
Time Commitment:
The estimated workload for this project is around 10–20 hours per week during active phases, contingent upon project needs. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed commitment during the project duration.
Compensation:
Contributors can earn up to $14 per hour, depending on their contribution level and pace. Compensation may vary across projects based on scope, complexity, and required expertise. Please be aware that other projects on the platform might offer different compensation levels.
