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+).
