Machine Learning Engineer: 2D & 3D Geometric Data, Generative AI East Coast, United States

Position Overview
Autodesk is leading the transformation of the AEC industry, integrating AI
technology into our products. We're enhancing our applications with cloud-
native capabilities, including data at scale, edge computing, AI-based
solutions, and advanced 3D modeling and graphics. This innovation is
happening across our flagship products—AutoCAD, Revit, and Construction
Cloud—and Forma, our new Industry Cloud.

As a Machine Learning Engineer on the AEC Solutions team, you will join a
team of technologists to help build foundation models and generative AI
tools for the AEC industry. You will work collaboratively to create and
interpret design data that can enhance design and engineering workflows.
Report: You will report to the Machine Learning Manager in the
Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) Solutions Team.

Location: We support hybrid work or remote work in Canada.
