Mechanical Engineer with Python - Freelance AI Trainer
Mindrift offers remote, project-based AI opportunities for experienced mechanical engineers. Contributors design and evaluate mechanical engineering problems, assess AI-generated solutions, validate results using Python (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas), and help improve AI systems. Compensation is up to $40/hour depending on contribution pace, with projects typically requiring 10–20 hours/week during active phases. This is not permanent employment, but project participation with flexible, part-time engagement.
Ideal candidates hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related field), possess 3+ years of relevant experience, demonstrate strong proficiency in Python, and have written English at C1/C2 level. Professional certifications (PE, CEng, PMP) and international project experience are advantageous. Stable internet access is required.
Interested applicants should submit their CV in English and specify English proficiency. Compensation, workload, and project scope may vary across different projects on the platform.
Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.

- 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.
