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. These problems must be computationally intensive, requiring non-trivial reasoning chains in mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics, and cannot be solved manually within a reasonable timeframe. The problems should be based on actual research challenges or practical applications from optics and physics, with clear documentation and verified correct answers.
What We Look For
This opportunity is ideal for optical engineers seeking part-time, non-permanent projects. Candidates should possess a degree in Physics (Theoretical, Experimental, or Computational) or a related field, with at least 2 years of professional, research, or teaching experience. Proficiency in numerical simulation methods, the ability to design problems mirroring real physics research, creative problem-solving skills across diverse physics areas, and familiarity with physics modeling and approximation techniques are essential. Strong written English skills (C1+) are also required.
How It Works
The process involves applying, passing qualifications, joining a project, completing tasks, and receiving payment.
Project Time Expectations
Active project phases are estimated to require approximately 10-20 hours per week, depending on specific project needs. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload, applicable only during active project periods.
Compensation
Contributors can earn up to the equivalent of $45 per hour, with the actual rate varying based on individual skill level and contribution pace. Compensation differs across projects based on scope, complexity, and expertise required.
