Optical Engineer - Freelance AI Trainer

Mindrift

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.

This opportunity is a good fit for optical engineers open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:

• 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+).

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.
