Computational Physics Specialist - India

[$10.5 / hr]

Our client is hiring a Computational Physics Specialist to create terminal bench–style problems and tasks involving agents within the physics domain, as part of a hiring effort for its AI lab partner building advanced agent-based infrastructure. This role is ideal for individuals with a strong foundation in physics and a working knowledge of programming who are excited to design real-world simulations and problem-solving environments. You will be building terminal-based benchmarks where agents are tested on their ability to reason through and solve physics-based challenges using code, commands, and logic — all within a realistic terminal interface.

You're a great fit if you :

Have a background in Physics, Applied Physics, or Engineering Physics
Are familiar with computational methods such as numerical integration, differential equations, Monte Carlo simulations, or physical modeling
Have coding experience in Python, MATLAB, C++, or similar languages, and are comfortable in a Linux terminal environment
Understand core physics concepts (mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics, wave dynamics, etc.) and can translate them into structured problem-solving tasks
Are interested in AI agents and want to explore how they can interact with simulations, models, and physics solvers in terminal-based systems
Can design step-by-step challenges where quantitative reasoning, code-based exploration, and scientific accuracy are required

Primary Goal of This Role

To design terminal bench–style tasks where autonomous agents are challenged to solve physics-based problems through code, simulations, and reasoning. These environments will test agent performance in areas like equation solving, unit conversion, modeling physical systems, and interpreting simulation outputs in a terminal context.

What You'll Do

Build secure, sandboxed environments where agents interact with physics simulations or problem-solving tasks via the terminal.

Design benchmarks that require agents to :

Calculate physical quantities

Run simple code-based simulations

Solve real-world physics problems using appropriate equations and reasoning

Collaborate with AI engineers to define task specifications, rewards, and difficulty levels.

Create tasks that mimic real scientific computing workflows — e.g., modifying parameters, parsing output data, or debugging physical models.

Develop tools for benchmark reproducibility, task evaluation, and automated resets.

Scale challenges from basic mechanics problems to multi-step, interdisciplinary simulations.

Why This Role Is Exciting

Help shape a new class of agent benchmarks grounded in scientific reasoning

Apply physics knowledge in a creative and technically deep setting involving simulation, automation, and AI

Contribute to a high-autonomy team pushing the boundaries of agent performance in complex domains
