Job Description

Job Description

Job Title: Computational Physics AI Expert

Role Type: Contractor
Location: Remote

Job Overview

We are seeking experienced Computational Physics Experts to contribute their technical expertise to a project focused on advancing next-generation AI systems. In this role, you will provide real-world examples of computational physics problem-solving and demonstrate how modern AI coding agents can be applied to sophisticated technical workflows.

The ideal candidate is a STEM professional with hands-on experience using AI coding agents such as Codex, Claude Science, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork as active tools in computational and technical work.

No prior experience in AI training is required—your computational physics expertise, technical judgment, and ability to apply agentic tools to complex problems are what matter most.

Scope of Work
  • Provide detailed, real-world walkthroughs of computational physics problem-solving using AI coding agents in complex technical environments.
  • Demonstrate the use of Codex, Claude Science, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork for advanced technical workflows.
  • Document how AI agents are used for tasks such as navigating large codebases, debugging complex issues, developing sophisticated features, and automating multi-step workflows.
  • Clearly describe the approaches, technical decisions, methodologies, and agent-generated sequences used to solve computational problems.
  • Evaluate workflows in which AI agents contribute to architectural changes, codebase modifications, debugging, and ambiguous computational challenges .
  • Develop high-quality technical examples, evaluations, and feedback to support AI training and model improvement.
  • Analyze the accuracy, effectiveness, and limitations of AI-generated solutions in computational physics contexts.
  • Communicate technical findings and insights through clear written and verbal documentation.
  • Collaborate with project stakeholders to refine technical examples, workflows, and evaluation criteria.
Required Skills
  • Computational Physics
  • Python
  • AI Coding Agents
  • Codex
  • Claude Science
  • Claude Code
  • Claude Cowork
  • Debugging
  • Technical Documentation
  • Architectural Change Management
  • Problem-Solving
  • Technical Communication
Preferred Qualifications
  • Advanced hands-on experience in computational physics , scientific computing, numerical methods, simulation, or related technical fields.
  • Demonstrated experience using Codex, Claude Science, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork in real-world technical workflows.
  • Current or recent experience as a STEM professional applying AI coding agents to complex technical problems beyond basic coding assistance.
  • Strong Python programming skills and experience working with scientific or computational codebases.
  • Ability to clearly explain complex, end-to-end technical solutions and the role AI agents played throughout the workflow.
  • Experience generating and evaluating agent-driven sequences and multi-step workflows , rather than relying primarily on conversational AI interactions.
  • Experience debugging complex systems and identifying subtle technical issues with the assistance of AI coding agents.
  • Familiarity with architectural change management , refactoring, and development within large or complex codebases.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce detailed and technically accurate documentation.
  • Strong analytical thinking and the ability to evaluate AI-generated technical solutions critically.
