Civil Engineer & Python Expert - Freelance AI Trainer

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.

• Degree in Civil Engineering or related field.
• 2+ years of research, applied, or teaching experience.
• Proficiency in Python for writing reference solutions.
• Fluency with or strong willingness to learn scriptable civil engineering packages such as OpenSeesPy, CalculiX, YADE, bempp-cl, or similar.
• Ability to design problems requiring specialized solvers.
• Strong written English (C1+).

Nice to have:

• Prior experience with the listed specialized tools (OpenSeesPy, CalculiX, YADE, bempp-cl).

• Design computational engineering problems to challenge a frontier AI model using specialized tools like OpenSeesPy, CalculiX, YADE, bempp-cl, or others.
• Write Python reference solutions, supply input files and geometry definitions.
• Decide numerical answers and tolerance levels for correctness.
• Test problems against the AI model in batches, tuning difficulty to achieve a 10–30% pass rate.
• Collaborate with senior reviewers for task quality feedback.
• Calibrate problems by rewriting load cases, tightening boundary conditions, and analyzing AI agent behavior.
