Physics SME

About Us:

Deccan AI experts is a pioneering company founded by IIT Bombay and IIM Ahmedabad alumni, with a strong founding team from IITs, NITs, and BITS. We specialize in delivering high-quality human-curated data, AI-first scaled operations services, and more. Based in SF and Hyderabad, we are a young, fast-moving team on a mission to build AI for Good, driving innovation and positive societal impact.

About the Role:

We are looking for a Physics SME with a deep understanding of university-level physics-Mechanics, Electromagnetism, Quantum Physics, and Thermodynamics. You will verify multi-step derivations, analyze equations, check physical intuition, and annotate conceptual vs calculation errors. The role focuses on producing accurate, clear, and high-quality physics reasoning datasets.

Key Responsibilities:

• Validate physics derivations and multi-step calculations across Mechanics, EM, Quantum, and Thermodynamics.
• Check the correctness of final answers, intermediate steps, units, and physical assumptions.
• Evaluate conceptual vs computational errors and annotate clear distinctions.
• Review solution reasoning for clarity, accuracy, and physical soundness.
• Produce gold-standard explanations, corrected steps, and reasoning chains.
• Collaborate with STEM reasoning teams to ensure consistency and rigor.

Skills & Experience Required:

• BSc/MSc in Physics or Engineering Physics.
• Strong command of analytical reasoning, equation manipulation, unit consistency, and physical intuition.
• Ability to interpret multi-step derivations, detect conceptual flaws, and break down physical arguments.
• Skilled in identifying reasoning gaps, incorrect assumptions, or inconsistent units.
• comfortable with multi-step derivations, conceptual explanations, and validating physical reasoning.

Why Join Us

• Work on high-impact projects that contribute to building AI for Good.
• Collaborate with top-tier engineers and domain experts from IITs, NITs, and BITS.
• Opportunity to grow in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment.

NOTE: This will be a flexible freelancing opportunity. Pay will vary by project and typically is up to 1500 per hour.
