    Position summary

    Physics Informed AI/ML group will be specifically focused on researching and implementing novel algorithms for physics-informed AI/ML for use in design, simulation and engineering tools. We are interested in physics-based generative models, surrogate and reduced-order models, data assimilation and digital twins, physics-based reasoning and the interpretation of physical results using AI/ML.

    Responsibilities

    • Research and implement physics-informed AI/ML algorithms, and demonstrate their applicability to areas of interest for Autodesk

    • Design and build physics-informed AI/ML workflows and data pipelines, create and curate training data, develop and test models

    • Work closely with a multi-disciplinary team of research scientists and engineers to conceive, plan, develop, and implement scientific research projects

    • Mentor or lead researchers, engineers and interns (undergraduate, graduate or post-doctoral)

    • Participate in research collaborations with external research institutes and universities

    • Publish papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals/conferences

    • Document and communicate the intent and the results of projects in clear terms to both technical and non-technical team audiences both internally and externally

    • Knowledge of computational geometry, topology and geometric deep learning

    • Extensive experience with methods that combine modern machine learning and AI/ML methods with computational physics algorithms

    • Familiarity with best practices in data creation, data and workflow management as related to training AI/ML models

    • Experience creating and training machine learning models at scale (e.g. using PyTorch, TensorFlow, Flax, etc)

    • Ability to articulate how physics-informed AI methods relate to more traditional numerical methods, surrogate models, reduced order models and simulation approaches in, for example, CFD or computational mechanics

    • Python and C++. Familiarity with HPC techniques

    • Familiarity with collaborative development environments and version control systems

    • Excellent written and oral communication skills

    • Strong publication history in relevant conferences and journals
