Job description

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.

Overview

What This Opportunity Involves

While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:

  • Design graduate- and industry-level mechanical engineering problems grounded in real practice
  • Evaluate AI-generated solutions for correctness, assumptions, and engineering logic
  • Validate analytical or numerical results using Python (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas)
  • Improve AI reasoning to align with first principles and accepted engineering standards
  • Apply structured scoring criteria to assess multi-step problem solving.

What We Look For

This opportunity is a good fit for mechanical engineers with experience in Python open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:

  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering or related fields, e.g. Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Mechanical Design, Computational Mechanics, etc.
  • 3+ years of professional mechanical engineering experience
  • Strong written English (C1/C2)
  • Strong Python proficiency for numerical validation
  • Stable internet connection

Professional certifications (e.g., PE, CEng, PMP) and experience in international or applied projects are an advantage.

How It Works

Apply → Pass qualification(s) → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get paid

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.

Payment

  • Paid contributions, with rates up to $20/hour*
  • Fixed project rate or individual rates, depending on the project
  • Some projects include incentive payments
  • Note: Rates vary based on expertise, skills assessment, location, project needs, and other factors. Higher rates may be offered to highly specialized experts. Lower rates may apply during onboarding or non-core project phases. Payment details are shared per project
