• Managing your project end-to-end, includingresearch, project planning, implementation,and demonstration

• Partnering with various cross-functional teams to solve critical problems across the Autodesk organization

• Combine your knowledge of Model Based Systems Engineering and state-of-the-art AI tools to create proof-of-concept prototypes and demonstrations

• Managing incomplete, ambiguous, or evolving requirements during early concept development

• Adapt MBSE processes traditionally used for large-scale systems to smaller assemblies while maintaining design fidelity

• Integration of your output into broader team initiatives

• Acting as an MBSE reference for the team and providing guidance with respect to the products being studied

• Document research findings, prototypes, and lessons learned for future reference

Minimum Qualifications:

• Master's degree program in Systems Engineering or Model Based Systems Engineering (Must be currently enrolled in a full-time, degree seeking program)

• Proventrack recordwith managing projects and challenges

• Working knowledge of mechanical engineering principles, including assembly design and kinematic analysis

• Proficiency in Python and experience with software development for prototyping

• Exposure to AI/ML concepts and experience using AI tools for software development or prototyping

• Experience with CAD/CAM and reverse engineering

• Understanding of product design, manufacturing processes, and design-for-assembly principles

• Systems Engineering & MBSE

• Familiarity with SysML

• Understanding of quantitative trade-off methods (Multi-Attribute Utility Theory, Pareto analysis)

• Experience using Modelica, MATLAB, or similar tools for systems analysis

• Practical experience applying model-based systems engineering principles to product design

Preferred Qualifications:

• Prior experience from internships,extracurriculars, or other side projects

• Experience working with cross-functional teams

• Passionfor Autodesk and/or desire to learn more about the domain

• Doctoral degree program in Systems Engineering or Model Based Systems Engineering

• Experience operating advanced manufacturing equipment (i.e. CNC mill, 3D-scanner, CMM, 3d printers)

• Experience designing assemblies and product development processes

• Well versed in implementing MBSE frameworks and system architectures
