Automotive Engineering & Python Expert - Freelance AI Trainer

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.

What this opportunity involves

While each project involves unique tasks, contributors may:

• Design graduate- and industry-level automotive 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 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.
