About Mindrift
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
Contributors will be tasked with designing original optics problems that simulate real physics research workflows. This includes ensuring problems are computationally intensive, requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics, and cannot be solved manually within reasonable timeframes. Problems should be based on real research challenges or practical applications from optics and physics practice, with clearly documented problem statements and verified correct answers.
What We Look For
This opportunity is ideal for optical engineers seeking part-time, non-permanent projects. Candidates should ideally possess a degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related field, with at least 2 years of professional experience (applied, research, or teaching). Experience with numerical simulation methods, the ability to design problems mirroring real physics research workflows, creative thinking in problem design across diverse physics areas, and familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques are essential. Strong written English proficiency (C1+) is also required.
How It Works
The process involves applying, passing qualifications, joining a project, completing tasks, and receiving payment.
Project Time Expectations
Tasks for this specific project are estimated to require approximately 10-20 hours per week during active phases, depending on project demands. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload, applicable only during active project periods.
Compensation
Contributors on this project can earn an equivalent of up to $35 per hour, with the final amount dependent on their skill level and contribution speed. Compensation can vary across different projects on the platform based on their scope, complexity, and the expertise required.
Additional Information
Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.
