Position Overview

Autodesk is building the next generation of AI capabilities that will transform how customers design and make. The Foundation Models team develops AI technologies that operate across Autodesk’s platform and business units. This role provides the analytical foundation needed to guide adoption, monetization, GPU economics, cost modeling, and strategic planning for these AI investments.

You will apply structured problem-solving, financial modeling, usage analytics, and cost analysis, including inference COGS, GPU cost economics, GPU utilization, and compute efficiency, revenue-impact modeling and AI strategy to inform business decisions. This role requires fluency, or the ability to ramp quickly, in cloud, GPU, and inference cost dynamics as they relate to AI product economics, COGS, scaling, and margin.

Your work will clarify how foundation models scale, how GPU and inference
costs, revenue-impact modeling and AI strategy affect Autodesk’s economics, and how the company should prioritize investment and deployment across multiple product areas.

The successful candidate will operate at the center of Autodesk’s AI transformation, shaping business strategy and analytics that inform AI development, technology roadmaps, and long-term priorities. They will develop structured strategic frameworks, adoption and impact forecasts, GPU and inference cost models, and decision-support insights that guide Autodesk’s AI portfolio and enable leadership alignment across industry groups and executive forums.
