About the role

Your deep understanding of physical principles will directly shape how AI reasons through complex problems — from undergraduate mechanics to graduate-level electromagnetism and beyond.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role where your expertise genuinely matters. You don't need any prior AI experience — just strong physics knowledge and the ability to think and communicate rigorously.

Why Join Us

  • Work on cutting-edge AI projects in direct collaboration with leading AI research labs.
  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your schedule, from anywhere.
  • Freelance perks: high autonomy, variety of tasks, and global collaboration.
  • Meaningful work that shapes how AI understands and applies physics.
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract renewal.

Responsibilities

  • Design challenging, well-structured physics problems across domains including mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, and quantum mechanics.
  • Develop clear, step-by-step solutions with rigorous logical reasoning.
  • Evaluate AI-generated responses for scientific accuracy and quality of reasoning.
  • Collaborate with researchers to refine benchmarks spanning undergraduate to Masters-level physics.
  • Provide structured, detailed feedback that helps AI models improve over time.

Required skills

  • Strong problem-solving ability across advanced physics domains.
  • Able to communicate complex concepts clearly and precisely in writing.
  • Detail-oriented with a systematic approach to evaluating reasoning.
  • Self-motivated and comfortable working independently and asynchronously.

Preferred skills

  • Experience with data annotation, data quality review, or evaluation systems.
  • Familiarity with AI language models or benchmarking workflows.
  • Background in research, tutoring, or academic writing.

Experience and education
