Job Highlights
About the Role
Job Requisition ID # 26WD94901 Position Overview As an AI for AEC Research Intern within Autodesk Research, you will play a pivotal role in envisioning and prototyping collaborative, multi-agent AI workflows grounded in real-world AEC project constraints and design goals. You will work alongside an applied research team with deep expertise in architecture, construction, and computer science. In this role, you will develop experimental AI prototypes, explore novel design-decision workflows, and help shape future software capabilities. You will also have opportunities to present and publish your work, influencing both internal research directions and the broader AEC + AI community. • Develop and evaluate a real-world AEC design use case, supporting design decisions through a collaborative, multi-agent AI workflow. • Iteratively prototype, test, and refine AI-driven workflows, documenting both successes and failures. • Build and maintain code repositories, along with clear documentation and compelling visual outputs. • Identify and define new use cases and assess industry applicability of developed solutions. • Communicate research outcomes through internal presentations at the conclusion of the internship. • Contribute to or lead the preparation of a peer-reviewed publication for an external AI and/or AEC conference.
