About the job
We kindly request that you submit your CV in English and specify your English proficiency level.
At Mindrift, we specialize in connecting skilled professionals with project-based AI opportunities at leading tech companies, with a focus on testing, assessing, and enhancing AI systems. This is a project-based role, not a permanent position.
Opportunity Overview
Each project comes with its own set of unique tasks. Contributors may be responsible for:
- Creating original optics problems that accurately reflect real-world physics research workflows;
- Ensuring that these problems are computationally intensive and cannot be resolved manually within a practical timeframe (days/weeks);
- Designing problems that require complex reasoning across mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Rooting problems in actual research challenges or practical applications from the fields of optics and physics;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct solutions.
Ideal Candidate Profile
This role is well-suited for optical engineers who are open to part-time, non-permanent project work. We are looking for candidates who possess:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related field;
- A minimum of 2 years of relevant experience in applied research or education;
- Familiarity with numerical simulation techniques;
- The capability to design problems that mirror genuine physics research workflows;
- Creative problem-solving skills across various physics disciplines;
- Knowledge of physics modeling and approximation methodologies;
- Strong written English skills (C1 level or higher).
Workflow Process
Steps include: Apply → Pass qualifications → Join a project → Complete tasks → Receive payment.
Project Time Commitment
For this project, tasks are estimated to require approximately 10 to 20 hours per week during active phases, depending on project demands. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload, and applies only while the project is ongoing.
Compensation
Contributors can earn up to $45 per hour, based on their contribution level and pace. Compensation may vary across projects depending on their scope, complexity, and required expertise. Please note that other projects on our platform may offer different earning potentials based on their specific requirements.
