Material Scientist with Python - Freelance AI Trainer

About Mindrift

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 experience in Python, open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:

• A degree in Material Science or related fields.
• Proficiency in Python for numerical validation. Knowledge of MATLAB, R, C, SQL, Numpy, Pandas, SciPy, domain-specific libraries, Stata, or any programming language is considered equivalent.
• A minimum of 2 years of professional experience, which can include applied, research, or teaching experience.
• An understanding of practical engineering constraints and approximations.
• Strong written English skills (C1+).

How It Works

The process involves applying, passing qualifications, joining a project, completing tasks, and getting paid.

Project Time Expectations

For this specific project, tasks are estimated to require approximately 10-20 hours per week during active phases. This is an estimate and not a guaranteed workload, applicable only while the project is active.

Compensation

Contributors can earn up to the equivalent of $45 per hour on this project, with the actual rate depending on their experience level and contribution pace. Compensation may vary across different projects on the platform based on their scope, complexity, and required expertise.
