Job Description
Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.
Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.
What this opportunity involves
While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:
- Design original optics problems that simulate real physics research workflows;
- Ensure problems are computationally intensive and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes (days/weeks);
- Develop problems requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics;
- Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from optics & physics practice;
- Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers.
What we look for
This opportunity is a good fit for physicians open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:
- Degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or related fields;
- 2+ years of professional experience: applied, research, or teaching experience is applicable;
- Experience with numerical simulation methods;
- Ability to design problems that mirror real physics research workflows;
- Creative thinking in problem design across diverse physics areas;
- Familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques;
- Strong written English (C1+).
