Description

Help Autodesk Revolutionize Learning and Design.

At Autodesk, we are dedicated to supporting our customers Imagine, Design and Create a better world by providing best in class software and learning resources. Help Autodesk improve its ability to support the world’s leading engineers, artists and designers achieve their goals and use our tools more effectively.

As an Intern on the Learning Solutions Team, you will develop a strategy for using machine learning to drive customer success. This project will focus on gaining a strong understanding of how to measure real-time product adoption within our customer base through the evaluation of customer’s behaviors, and proposing smart and scalable data structures, systems and methods to more effectively help our customers (i.e. learning paths, feedback loops, adaptive interfaces).

You’ll be working with a cross-functional and pan-Autodesk group who are helping to build the next generation learning experiences for our products.
