The AEC Solutions team at Autodesk is looking to build foundation models and generative AI tools for the AEC industry. This role aims to enhance design and engineering workflows by creating and interpreting design data, requiring technical leadership and the development of scalable data pipelines for diverse AEC data sources.
Requirements
- Hands-on experience in data modeling, architecture, and processing across multiple representations, including 2D/3D geometry
- Experience with computational geometry and geometric data methods
- Familiarity with machine learning concepts and frameworks, and how data is represented for training
- Proficiency in Python and strong software engineering practices
- Ability to translate theoretical concepts into practical solutions and prototypes
- Experience with AEC data formats (e.g., BIM models, IFC files, CAD files, Drawing Sets)
- Understanding of deep learning architectures (CNNs, Transformers) and familiarity with frameworks like PyTorch or Lightning
Responsibilities
- Lead and collaborate with other engineers to develop scalable data pipelines for diverse AEC data sources
- Work with large-scale, multi-modal datasets—including text and geometric data—to support preprocessing, augmentation, analysis, and content understanding
- Transform unstructured AEC data into representations suitable for machine learning
- Lead cross-functional collaboration with ML Research Scientists and Engineers to align data formats with downstream training and fine-tuning of LLMs
- Apply deduplication, normalization, and validation techniques to ensure high-quality data at scale
- Architect and optimize pipelines for scalability, reproducibility, and cloud deployment
- Drive technical decision-making and influence engineering best practices across the team
Other
- 10+ years of experience in Machine Learning, Engineering, or related fields
- 2+ years of experience leading technical projects or mentoring junior engineers
- Demonstrated ability to provide technical leadership in cross-functional environments
- Background in Architecture, Engineering, or Construction (AEC)
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to influence and guide technical decisions
