Optical Engineer - Freelance AI Trainer

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 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 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+) 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 $45 per hour equivalent , depending on their level and pace of contribution. Compensation varies across projects depending on scope, complexity, and required expertise. #J-18808-Ljbffr Mindrift
