Freelance Automotive Engineer with Python Experience - AI Trainer
Mindrift offers remote, project-based opportunities for automotive engineering experts to collaborate with leading tech companies on AI projects. Participants design real-world engineering problems, assess AI-generated solutions, and validate results using Python (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas). Engagements are flexible and part-time (around 10–20 hours/week during active phases), with paid contributions up to $40/hour, varying by expertise and project phase.
Candidates should have a degree in Automotive Engineering or related discipline (e.g., Mechatronics, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering), a minimum of 3 years’ professional experience, strong Python skills for numerical analysis, and C1/C2-level written English. Professional certifications and international project experience are advantageous. A stable internet connection is required for effective remote collaboration.
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 is project-based, not permanent employment.

- 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 automotive engineers with an experience in python open to part-time, non-permanent projects. Ideally, contributors will have:
- Degree in Automotive Engineering or related fields, e.g. Mechatronics, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, etc.
- 3+ years of professional automotive 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.
