We invite you to submit your CV in English, detailing your proficiency in the language.

Mindrift serves as a vital link between specialists and project-oriented AI opportunities with top-tier technology firms, concentrating on the evaluation, testing, and enhancement of AI systems. Note: Participation is project-based and does not lead to permanent employment.

Opportunity Overview:

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

  • Crafting original computational physics problems that authentically replicate real-world physics research workflows;
  • Developing problems that necessitate Python programming for resolution (utilizing libraries such as Numpy, SciPy, and Sympy);
  • Ensuring that the problems are computationally demanding, making manual solutions impractical within reasonable timeframes (days or weeks);
  • Creating problems that require complex reasoning chains across mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
  • Formulating problems based on actual research challenges or applicable scenarios in physics;
  • Validating solutions using Python and standard physics simulation libraries;
  • Clearly documenting problem statements and providing verified correct answers.

Desired Qualifications:

This role is an excellent match for optical engineers proficient in Python who are open to part-time, non-permanent engagements. 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 any equivalent programming language is acceptable;
  • A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, whether in applied, research, or teaching capacities;
  • Experience with numerical simulation methodologies;
  • Capability to design problems reflective of genuine physics research workflows;
  • Inventive problem-solving skills across various physics domains;
  • Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques;
  • Strong written English skills (C1 level or higher).

Application Process:

Apply → Pass qualifications → Join a project → Complete assigned tasks → Receive compensation.

Project Commitment:

During active phases, tasks are anticipated to require approximately 10–20 hours weekly, depending on project specifications. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload.

Compensation:

Contributors may earn up to $14 per hour based on their expertise and contribution level. Compensation varies by project according to scope, complexity, and required expertise. Other projects may offer different earning potential based on their demands.
