About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, clearly indicating your level of English proficiency.
At Mindrift, we bridge the gap between specialists and project-based AI opportunities for prominent technology firms, focusing on the testing, evaluation, and enhancement of AI systems. Please note that participation is project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview:
Each project encompasses distinct tasks; however, contributors may:
- Craft original material engineering problems that replicate authentic engineering workflows;
- Develop challenges that necessitate Python programming for solving engineering calculations and simulations;
- Ensure that problems are computationally demanding and require numerical methods or iterative solutions;
- Design problems focused on system design, optimization, and analysis;
- Base problems on real-world research challenges or practical applications from the engineering field;
- Utilize Python with established engineering libraries to verify solutions;
- Clearly document problem statements and provide verified correct answers.
Qualifications Sought:
This role is ideal for material scientists and engineers with Python experience, who are open to part-time, non-permanent roles. Candidates should possess:
- A degree in Material Science or a related discipline;
- Proficiency in Python for numerical validation; familiarity with MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, or knowledge of any programming language is acceptable;
- A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, including applied, research, or teaching experience;
- An understanding of practical engineering constraints and approximations;
- Strong written English skills (C1+).
Project Participation Process:
Apply → Pass qualifications → Join a project → Complete tasks → Receive compensation
Project Time Commitment:
Tasks are estimated to require approximately 10–20 hours per week during active phases, based on project needs. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload during project activity.
Compensation:
Contributors can earn up to $35 per hour, contingent upon their level of expertise and pace of contribution. Compensation may vary across projects, depending on their scope, complexity, and required expertise, and other projects on the platform may offer different earning levels.
