Gis Machine Learning Jobs in Michigan (NOW HIRING)

Position Overview

Autodesk is shaping the future of the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry by building the operational product data platform that powers the industry's design, collaboration, and lifecycle workflows. We are seeking a Senior Director of Engineering to lead the team responsible for the AEC Data Model, the core platform underpinning these capabilities across our product portfolio.

Reporting to the VP of AEC Data, as Sr. Director of Engineering within Autodesk's AEC Data team, you will lead the evolution and engineering delivery of the AEC Data Model, enabling the next generation of product data capabilities for the Autodesk Forma Industry Cloud. This platform is centered on operational product data and systems of record, while also interfacing with analytics and machine learning systems and evolving to support broader data and intelligence use cases. In this role, you'll work with leaders from Revit, Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Autodesk Platform Services, Autodesk Construction Solutions, Generative Design, and Forma Design to unify complex, historically fragmented design data across Autodesk's ecosystem into a coherent, scalable platform.

The successful candidate is an experienced engineering leader with a passion for large-scale systems and building high-performing teams. They combine deep technical expertise, innovative engineering practices, and leadership presence to drive alignment and execution across product, platform, and ecosystem teams.

As this role oversees a global organization, you will work across multiple time zones and travel up to 20% for team offsites and internal and customer events.

The role can be based in the US, Canada, or the UK with Eastern time zone preferred.

Responsibilities

• Lead the engineering execution of the AEC Data Model roadmap, translating product strategy into scalable, high-quality systems
• Build and evolve the engineering organization to deliver predictable execution, high quality, and operational excellence
• Hire, mentor, and retain the next generation of engineering leaders
• Serve as a senior leader within the AEC Data team, shaping organizational strategy, prioritization, execution, and innovation across the portfolio
• Partner with product, platform, and ecosystem teams to drive adoption of the AEC Data Model across Autodesk's product portfolio, influencing architecture and data standards across independent teams and taking ownership of critical cross-product initiatives
• Define the long-term evolution of Autodesk's AEC domain data model and influence broader technical strategy around domain data, interoperability, and platform architecture
• Stay at the forefront of emerging technologies and engineering practices, identifying and driving adoption of innovations that materially improve platform capabilities and developer productivity

Minimum Qualifications

• 15+ years of software engineering experience, with 5+ years leading managers and senior leaders across global teams
• Demonstrated ability to adopt and scale AI-driven engineering practices to accelerate delivery and improve developer effectiveness
• Proven track record of owning and delivering large-scale, complex systems or platforms with measurable business impact
• Experience building and scaling high-performing engineering organizations, including org design and leadership development

• Deep expertise in distributed systems, cloud platforms, high-scale transactional environments, and modern software architecture patterns
• Exceptional communication and influencing skills, with the ability to align product, platform, external, and executive stakeholders
• Ability to understand complex business requirements and quickly and iteratively execute against them in a highly matrixed environment

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building or leading domain-specific data platforms (e.g., AEC, BIM, GIS, manufacturing, or other complex object models)
• Experience with schema evolution, versioning, and backward compatibility in long-lived, large-scale systems
• Understanding of how operational product data interfaces with analytics, AI, and downstream data platforms
• Experience influencing industry standards, data interoperability frameworks, or open ecosystems
