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
