Job description

Do you have a background in Physics or Mechanical Engineering? AI models are getting smarter, but they often struggle with “common sense” physics—like how gravity works, how objects move, or how much force is needed to lift something. At TELUS Digital, we need people who understand the laws of the universe to check the AI’s work. You don’t need to be a coder; you just need to ensure the AI’s science is grounded in reality.

What You’ll Do

• Problem Checking: Review physics problems solved by the AI and make sure the formulas, units (like Newtons or Joules), and final answers are correct.
• Mechanical Logic: Check if the AI’s descriptions of physical objects make sense (for example, making sure it doesn’t say a feather is heavier than a brick).
• Diagram Review: Look at simple diagrams of forces or motion and ensure the AI is labeling the vectors and directions correctly.
• Explain the “Why”: Help the AI write better explanations for complex topics like energy, light, or motion so that students can learn more easily.

Qualification path

Mandatory Qualifications

• Education: A minimum of a Bachelor’s Degree in Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or Astronomy
• Native Language: Native-level proficiency in your primary language. We need you to know the specific terms used in physics education in your country.
• English Proficiency: Basic (B1) English to follow our project instructions.
• Logic & Math Skills: You are comfortable with basic calculus and algebra used in standard physics problems.

Assessment

In order to be hired into our community, you’ll go through a subject-specific qualification exam that will determine your suitability for the position and complete ID verification.

Payment

Currently, pay rates for experts range from $18 – $50 USD per hour

Our Payment terms are defined for each project.
