Freelance Mechanical Engineer with Python Experience - AI Trainer
Mindrift offers remote, project-based opportunities for mechanical engineering specialists to collaborate with leading technology companies in testing and improving AI systems. Contributors tackle diverse tasks such as designing engineering problems, evaluating AI solutions, validating results with Python (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas), and enhancing AI logic. Engagements are non-permanent with estimated workloads of 10–20 hours/week during active phases and competitive rates up to $40/hour, varying by project, expertise, and scope.
Candidates must hold a degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field, possess 3+ years of professional experience, demonstrate advanced Python skills, and have a high level of English proficiency (C1/C2). Experience with international projects, professional certifications such as PE, CEng, or PMP, and a reliable internet connection are considered strong assets.
This opportunity is ideal for engineers seeking flexible, remote work with meaningful impact in the AI domain. Payment terms, workload expectations, and project specifics are communicated on a per-project basis.
Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.
