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 isproject-based, not permanent employment. 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 an 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.
