Mindrift specializes in connecting talented individuals with project-based AI opportunities for top-tier technology companies. Our focus is on testing, evaluating, and enhancing AI systems. Please note that this engagement is project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview
Contributors will engage in various tasks tailored to each project, which may include:
- Crafting original computational physics problems that reflect authentic physics research workflows;
- Formulating challenges that require Python programming to resolve, utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy;
- Ensuring that problems are computationally demanding and cannot be manually solved within feasible timeframes (days/weeks);
- Creating problems that necessitate complex reasoning chains in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Grounding challenges in real-world research dilemmas or practical applications within physics;
- Validating solutions using Python alongside established physics simulation libraries;
- Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct solutions.
Candidate Profile
This position is suited for optical engineers experienced in Python, who are interested in part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideal candidates will possess:
- A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or related disciplines;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation, with familiarity in MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or similar programming languages;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, whether in applied physics, research, or education;
- Experience with numerical simulation methodologies;
- The capability to design problems that accurately reflect genuine physics research processes;
- Creative problem-solving skills across various physics domains;
- Knowledge of physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Strong written English skills (C1+ level).
