Freelance Mechanical Engineering & Python Expert - AI Trainer
Mindrift offers remote, project-based AI opportunities for experienced mechanical engineers to assist top tech companies in enhancing AI systems. Contributors participate in non-permanent projects involving the design and evaluation of advanced engineering problems, validation of AI-generated solutions, and analytical verification using Python (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas). Compensation is competitive, with payments up to $40/hour and potential incentives, though actual rates depend on experience, location, and project requirements. Commitment is flexible, estimated at 10–20 hours/week during active phases.
Qualified candidates will hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, have at least 3 years of professional engineering experience, strong Python proficiency, stable internet access, and excellent written English (C1/C2). Professional certifications (e.g., PE, CEng, PMP) or international project experience are a plus. Applicants advance through a qualification process before joining project tasks.
Projects are temporary with variable workloads, offering flexible participation for engineers seeking diverse, international AI-driven work experiences while maintaining current employment or pursuing other interests.
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.
