Material Scientist with Python - Freelance AI Trainer

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 material engineering problems that simulate real engineering workflows;
• Create problems requiring Python programming to solve engineering calculations and simulations;
• Ensure problems are computationally intensive and require numerical methods or iterative solutions;
• Develop problems involving system design, optimization, and analysis;
• Base problems on real research challenges or practical applications from engineering practice;
• Verify solutions using Python with standard engineering libraries;
• Document problem statements clearly and provide verified correct answers.

What We Look For

This opportunity is a good fit for material scientists & engineers with an experience in python open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:

• Degree in Material Science or related fields;
• Python proficiency for numerical validation. MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, Stata or knowledge of any programming language can be equivalent;
• 2+ years of professional experience: applied, research, or teaching experience is applicable;
• Understanding of practical engineering constraints and approximations;
• Strong written English (C1+).
