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
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:
- A 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
The process involves applying, passing qualifications, joining a project, completing tasks, and receiving payment.
Project Time Expectations
For this specific project, tasks are estimated to require approximately 10-20 hours per week during active phases. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload, applicable only when the project is active.
Compensation
On this project, contributors can earn up to the equivalent of $35 per hour, with the actual rate depending on the individual's skill level and contribution pace. Compensation can vary across different projects on the platform based on their scope, complexity, and required expertise.
