Job description

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 rigorous physics problems reflecting professional practice;
• Evaluate AI solutions for correctness, assumptions, and constraints;
• Validate calculations or simulations using Python (NumPy, Pandas, SciPy);
• Improve AI reasoning to align with industry-standard logic;
• Apply structured scoring criteria to multi-step problems

What We Look For

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

• Degree in Physics or related fields, e.g. Engineering Physics, Thermodynamics, Statistical Mechanics, Optics and Acoustics, etc.
• 3+ years of professional physics experience
• Strong written English (C1/C2)
• Strong Python proficiency for numerical validation
• Stable internet connection

Professional certifications (e.g., CPhys, EurPhys, MInstP) and experience in international or applied projects are an advantage.

How It Works
