About the job
We invite you to submit your CV in English, specifying your English proficiency level.
At Mindrift, we facilitate connections between specialists and project-based AI opportunities with top-tier tech companies. Our focus is on the rigorous testing, assessment, and enhancement of AI systems. Please note that participation is project-based, not permanent employment.
Opportunity Overview
Although each project entails distinct tasks, contributors might be expected to:
- Craft mechanical engineering challenges for both graduate and industry levels, rooted in practical applications.
- Critically assess AI-generated solutions for accuracy, underlying assumptions, and engineering soundness.
- Utilize Python (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas) to validate analytical or numerical outcomes.
- Enhance AI reasoning to ensure compliance with fundamental principles and established engineering norms.
- Implement structured evaluation criteria to measure multi-step problem-solving capabilities.
Qualifications
This role is ideal for mechanical engineers who possess Python skills and are open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Preferred qualifications include:
- A degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline, such as Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Mechanical Design, or Computational Mechanics.
- Over 3 years of professional mechanical engineering experience.
- Exceptional written English proficiency (C1/C2).
- Advanced Python skills for numerical validation.
- A reliable internet connection.
Professional certifications (e.g., PE, CEng, PMP) and experience with international or applied projects are advantageous.
