Mindrift specializes in connecting experts with project-based AI opportunities for leading technology companies, focusing on the evaluation and enhancement of AI systems. Note that participation is project-based and does not constitute permanent employment.

Opportunity Overview

Each project presents distinct tasks, which may include:

  • Creating original computational physics problems that replicate genuine physics research workflows;
  • Formulating challenges that necessitate Python programming for resolution (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy);
  • Guaranteeing that problems are computationally demanding and cannot be manually resolved within a reasonable timeframe (days/weeks);
  • Devising challenges that necessitate complex reasoning in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
  • Grounding problems in authentic research dilemmas or practical applications from physics;
  • Validating solutions using Python and standard physics simulation libraries;
  • Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct answers.

Ideal Candidate Profile

This position is well-suited for optical engineers with Python experience who are open to part-time, non-permanent projects. The ideal candidates will possess:

  • A degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or related fields;
  • Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Proficiencies in MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, or any domain-specific libraries may also be considered;
  • A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, including applied, research, or teaching experience;
  • Experience with numerical simulation techniques;
  • The capability to design problems that reflect authentic physics research workflows;
  • Creative problem-solving skills across various physics domains;
  • Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation strategies;
  • Strong written English skills (C1+ level).
