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 computational engineering problems that simulate real engineering workflows;
• Create problems requiring Python programming to solve engineering calculations and simulations;
• Ensure problems are computationally intensive and require numerical methods or iterative solutions;
• Develop problems involving system design, optimization, and analysis;
• Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from engineering practice;
• Verify solutions using Python with standard engineering libraries;
• Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers.

What We Look For

This opportunity is a good fit for engineers with an experience in python open to part‑time, non‑permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:

• Degree in Civil Engineering or related fields;
• Python proficiency for numerical validation. MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain‑specific libraries, Stata or knowledge of any programming language can be equivalent;
• 2+ years of professional experience: applied, research, or teaching experience is applicable;
• Understanding of practical engineering constraints and approximations;
• Strong written English (C1+).
