Autodesk Research is seeking an AI Scientist Manager to lead post-training and model alignment efforts. This role involves managing and growing a team of AI scientists while also contributing as a hands-on researcher. Responsibilities include leading instruction tuning, preference optimization (RLHF, RLAIF, DPO, PPO), and domain-specific post-training. The role also involves designing and maintaining evaluation frameworks for reasoning, tool-use, safety, and robustness, and providing go/no-go recommendations for model releases. The position requires a PhD or equivalent experience, proven people management skills, and expertise in LLMs, fine-tuning, and experimental design.

Autodesk is seeking a PhD intern to join their HCI and Visualization research group. The intern will work on a research project in human-computer interaction or data visualization, focusing on areas like user interfaces for generative AI, information visualization, and generative design tools. Responsibilities include developing software prototypes, conducting literature reviews, building prototypes, running experiments, analyzing data, and authoring research papers. A PhD program enrollment in Computer Science with a specialization in HCI and peer-reviewed publications are required.

This role is an internship focused on exploring and prototyping a model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approach for conceptual design of small-scale mechanical assemblies. It involves integrating MBSE with AI/ML methods, computational geometry, and CAD/CAM workflows to enhance early design fidelity. The intern will manage projects end-to-end, create proof-of-concept prototypes, and document findings.
