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 optical engineers 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+).

How it works

Apply → Pass qualification(s) → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get paid

Project time expectations

For this project, tasks are estimated to require around 10–20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload, and applies only while the project is active.

Compensation

On this project, contributors can earn up to $17 per hour equivalent, depending on their level and pace of contribution
