About the role

Your deep understanding of physics will directly shape how AI reasons through complex problems — from undergraduate fundamentals to Masters-level challenges.

If you've spent years thinking carefully about mechanics, electromagnetism, or thermodynamics, this is your opportunity to apply that expertise in a cutting-edge field — fully remote, on your own schedule.

Why Join Us

  • Work directly with industry-leading AI labs on cutting-edge model development.
  • Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you.
  • High agency and autonomy — you manage your own time and workload.
  • Contribute to meaningful work that shapes how AI understands science.
  • Potential for ongoing contracts and expanded project involvement.
  • Global collaboration with a network of expert contributors.

Responsibilities

  • Design rigorous, advanced physics problems across domains including mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and more.
  • Develop clear, step-by-step solutions with precise, logical reasoning.
  • Evaluate AI-generated outputs for scientific accuracy and quality of reasoning.
  • Collaborate with researchers to build and refine benchmarks spanning undergraduate to Masters-level physics.
  • Provide structured written feedback to help improve model performance.

Required skills

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills across multiple advanced physics domains.
  • Able to communicate complex concepts clearly and systematically in writing.
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently and asynchronously.

Preferred skills

  • Experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation workflows.
  • Familiarity with AI or large language model (LLM) research.
  • Background in academic tutoring, curriculum design, or scientific writing.

Experience and education

  • Pursuing or holding a Master's degree in Physics, Applied Physics, or a closely related field.
  • No prior AI experience required — your physics knowledge is what matters.
