Autodesk makes software for people who make things. If you’ve ever driven a high-performance car, admired a towering skyscraper, used a smartphone, or watched a great film, chances are you’ve experienced what millions of Autodesk customers are doing with our software. Autodesk gives you the power to make anything.

Autodesk is helping people imagine, design, and create a better world. In this particular role you will be supporting customers that are designing, planning, building, and maintaining the buildings that we see and inhabit every day. For a taste of what our solutions help create, see our Building Information Modeling page and check out the architectural solutions our customers design and build with our products! As part of the team working to reimagine building architecture, engineering, and construction, you will directly shape what a new world looks like for our customers. You will lead and provide creative direction on key product initiatives, including re-imagining platform experiences and workflows that connect multiple products & services.

And are therefore regularly looking for opportunities to improve yourself and your work by soliciting, responding to, and incorporating feedback on how things can be better. * You love to teach, mentor, and support others and enjoy working in interdisciplinary teams where harmonious collaboration is an every-day part of the work. You also know how to guide these teams to deliver high-quality results. * You use a generative work style and can rapidly develop artifacts (be they prototypes, workflow diagrams, or other visuals) to help communicate with others and gain support. * You have experience or familiarity with interaction patterns and best practices in 3D design software or 3D games and game interactions
