Position Overview
Autodesk customers make sense of the world through rich streams of data - from 3D scans of buildings and fluid dynamic simulations to field notes from construction sites and product usage trends. We are looking for a Principal Data Scientist to join Autodesk’s Platform Strategy and Emerging Technologies (PSET) organization and use their experience in AI/ML and Data Science to develop the next generation of applied AI solutions that power our platform and enable smarter, scalable and cost-efficient experiences for our customers.
As a Principal Data Scientist on our Platform Strategy and Emerging Technologies (PSET) - Programs & Business Excellence (PBE) team, you will play a key role in advancing the data science and AI capabilities within the company. You will serve as a subject matter expert, guiding the development and deployment of machine learning models and data driven solutions that support strategic platform capabilities.
In this role, you will partner with cross-functional teams – including data scientists, data analysts, product managers, developers and domain experts to deliver innovative solutions that drive business impact. This role requires a combination of strong technical expertise, leadership abilities, and business acumen to address complex challenges and influence strategic decisions. You will report to the Senior Manager of Data Science, PSET.
Preference for candidates to work hybrid/remote in Toronto or Montreal, Canada.
