Remote Physics Specialist - 61659

About Turing:

Based in San Francisco, California, Turing is the world’s leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. Turing supports customers in two ways: first, by accelerating frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, plus top AI researchers who specialize in coding, reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents; and second, by applying that expertise to help enterprises transform AI from proof of concept into proprietary intelligence with systems that perform reliably, deliver measurable impact, and drive lasting results on the P&L

Role Overview:

We are seeking an AI Training Specialist (Physics) to design rigorous, upper-undergraduate–level and beyond Physics problems used to train and evaluate frontier AI models. This role focuses on creating realistic, exam-quality tasks that are solvable by humans yet challenging enough to expose failure modes in advanced language models.

Main Responsibilities:

• Design and curate upper-undergraduate and graduate-level Physics problems with fully worked, step-by-step solutions.
• Create model-breaking tasks that resemble top university coursework but frequently fail frontier AI models.
• Customize problem sets according to strict client specifications (SI units, LaTeX formatting, explicit constants, closed-form answers).
• Convert multi-part or image-based textbook/exam questions into single, self-contained, text-only problems with one definitive answer.
• Write clear, rigorous solution processes and verify consistency across question, reasoning, final answer, and units.
• Evaluate model outputs, diagnose common failure modes, and iteratively refine problems to ensure difficulty without sacrificing solvability.
• Review and quality-check Physics problems created by others, correcting issues in clarity, correctness, and formatting.
• Collaborate with other trainers, reviewers, and project managers to maintain consistent quality at scale.

Required Qualifications:

• Master’s degree or PhD in Physics or a closely related field.
• Strong background in upper-undergraduate Physics or beyond.
• Fluent English, with the ability to write precise and unambiguous scientific text.
• Strong LaTeX proficiency for mathematical derivations and formatting.
• Experience with university teaching, grading, exam design, or research involving analytical problem-solving.
• Excellent attention to detail in units, constants, symbols, and notation.
• Ability to sanity-check and recompute multi-step quantitative solutions.
• Familiarity with modern AI/LLM concepts (e.g., SFT, RLHF, evaluation) and interest in how training data shapes model behavior.
• Physics Domain Expertise
• Classical Mechanics
• Electromagnetism
• Thermodynamics & Statistical Physics
• Quantum Mechanics
• Optics and Modern Physics
• Ability to perform multi-step derivations, numerical calculations, and physical plausibility checks

Nice-to-Have:

• Prior experience creating content for AI training or standardized testing
• Experience designing multiple-choice questions with strong, model-confusing distractors

Perks of Freelancing With Turing:

• Work in a fully remote environment.
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading LLM companies.
• Potential for contract extension based on performance and project needs.

Offer Details:

• Commitments Required: 40 hours per week with overlap 4 hours with PST
• Engagement type : Contractor assignment(no medical/paid leave)
• Duration of contract : 2 month possibility to extend
