Physicist

Overview

Models can recite physics and still get it wrong: dimensional errors, misapplied approximations, and derivations that skip the step where the physics actually happens.

As a Physicist you'll evaluate AI reasoning across mechanics, E&M, quantum, and thermodynamics, and write solutions with the care of a good problem-set grader.

What you’ll actually do

Craft problems that expose weak physical reasoning, from undergraduate mechanics to graduate-level theory.

Review AI solutions for dimensional errors, misapplied approximations, and skipped steps, and rate the reasoning.

Write the gold-standard solution when the model falls short, showing the physics clearly at every step.

Roles this fits

Common backgrounds: Physicist, Research Scientist.

What we look for

Graduate-level physics background or equivalent research experience.

Comfort working problems across at least two core areas of physics.

Clear written English: your explanations are the training signal.

No degree required. We care about what you can do, not where you learned it.
