Mindrift bridges experts with project-based AI roles for prominent tech firms, concentrating on the evaluation and enhancement of AI systems. Engagements are project-based; this is not permanent employment.

Role Overview

Each project presents distinct challenges, and contributors may be tasked with:

  • Crafting innovative computational physics problems that replicate authentic research workflows;
  • Designing Python-based solutions utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy;
  • Ensuring tasks are computationally demanding and cannot be solved manually in a reasonable timeframe (days/weeks);
  • Creating problems requiring complex reasoning across mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
  • Formulating problems grounded in genuine research challenges or practical physics applications;
  • Validating solutions through Python utilizing standard physics simulation libraries;
  • Documenting problem statements comprehensively and providing verified correct answers.

Desired Qualifications

This position suits physicists experienced in Python who are open to 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. Familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or equivalent programming languages is acceptable;
  • At least 2 years of relevant professional experience in applied research or teaching;
  • Experience with numerical simulation techniques;
  • Capability to design problems reflecting genuine physics research workflows;
  • Creativity in problem formulation across various physics disciplines;
  • Understanding of physics modeling and approximation methods;
  • Strong command of written English (C1+).
