Freelance Automotive Engineering & Python Expert - AI Trainer
Mindrift offers remote, project-based AI opportunities for current or former automotive engineers, providing flexible contract work evaluating and refining AI systems for top global tech companies. Core responsibilities include designing and assessing advanced engineering problems, validating AI-generated solutions using Python (NumPy, SciPy, Pandas), and ensuring solutions follow accepted engineering standards. Paid hourly or per-project rates are offered—up to $40/hour—with time commitments of 10–20 hours per week during active project phases.
The ideal candidate holds a degree in Automotive Engineering (or a related field), possesses 3+ years of professional experience, is highly proficient in Python, and demonstrates strong written English (C1/C2-level) communication. Reliable internet access is required. Professional certifications (PE, CEng, PMP) and international or applied project experience are valuable assets.
This is a non-permanent, freelance arrangement—ideal for professionals seeking flexible, part-time, and impactful work in applied AI. Payment and workload may vary per project; English CV submission and proficiency self-assessment are required at application.
Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.
