Physics Expert

Role overview

This remote contract opportunity is for a physics specialist who will contribute subject-matter expertise to the development of next-generation AI systems. The work focuses on supplying accurate, well-reasoned physics input that helps improve how models learn, reason, and respond. Prior experience in artificial intelligence is not necessary; strong domain knowledge in physics is the main requirement.

What you will do

• Examine, interpret, and condense advanced physics articles, documents, and research papers.
• Develop and quality-check physics questions and problem sets across a broad range of topics for model training.
• Identify relevant data, carry out detailed calculations, and verify analytical answers in different areas of physics.
• Write clear, structured explanations and solution rationales for technical physics problems.
• Work with a distributed, multidisciplinary team while managing your tasks independently.
• Apply deep subject expertise to keep all generated or reviewed material precise and technically sound.
• Maintain consistent quality while meeting ongoing deadlines and deliverables.

Experience and qualifications

• At least 2 years of professional experience in physics or a closely related discipline, gained in academia or a laboratory/work environment.
• Excellent English writing and speaking skills, along with strong attention to detail.
• Comfort with reading, analyzing, and synthesizing technical documents and research literature.
• Background in creating, editing, or reviewing scientific questions, exam content, or technical exercises.
• Ability to stay self-directed and productive in a remote setting with limited supervision.
• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills for data assessment and calculations.
• Good time management skills and the ability to balance several tasks efficiently.

Preferred background

• Master's or doctoral degree in Physics or a related subject.
• Exposure to AI, EdTech, or digital content projects.
• Experience working across multiple scientific disciplines and in collaborative workflows.

Additional details

This position is listed as a contractor role and can be performed remotely from Auckland, New Zealand or other locations as applicable. The focus of the assignment is to support AI training through expert physics judgment, technical writing, and solution validation.
