Job Requisition ID #
Position Overview
Autodesk’s Technical Advisory organization is building a scalable knowledge platform that transforms implementation expertise from enterprise engagements into structured, reusable, and customer-facing guidance within Workflow Advisory.
The Principal Knowledge Engineer is responsible for designing and operating the systems that capture and transform knowledge from consulting engagements. This includes building AI-powered extraction and transformation pipelines and ensuring raw implementation data is converted into structured, template-aligned outputs ready for downstream content production.
Reporting to the Senior Manager, Content & Knowledge, you will operate at the intersection of consulting delivery, data, and AI systems. You will own the upstream knowledge pipeline—from extracting implementation intelligence to delivering high-quality structured inputs aligned to the content model.
In the first year, you will establish scalable AI-assisted capture and transformation pipelines and ensure knowledge is reliably converted into reusable, high-quality outputs.
Responsibilities
Knowledge Capture and AI Pipelines
- Design and operate AI-powered pipelines to capture knowledge from enterprise systems, meeting transcripts, and engagement artifacts
- Manage and optimize AI agents, including prompt design, evaluation, and performance tuning
- Define and track quality metrics (accuracy, completeness, error rates) and continuously improve pipeline performance
- Ensure secure handling of sensitive information, including automated redaction and compliance with governance standards
Knowledge Transformation and Structured Ingestion
- Design and operate pipelines that convert raw, unstructured inputs into structured, template-aligned outputs using AI
- Map extracted knowledge to defined content model fields, ensuring outputs are complete, consistent, and production-ready
- Define structured capture methods (forms, schemas, workflows) to ensure key context (decisions, constraints, trade-offs) is captured
- Normalize and standardize data across sources and identify gaps to improve capture and transformation processes
Quality, AI Readiness and Integration
- Ensure structured outputs support AI-driven use cases such as retrieval (RAG) and downstream content generation
- Partner with the Content Model Lead to align transformation outputs with templates and structures
- Collaborate with Architecture and Engineering to align pipelines with platform data models
- Identify and resolve data quality issues and improve end-to-end system performance
Minimum Qualifications
- 8+ years of experience in knowledge management, data engineering, information systems, or related fields
- Experience working with AI/LLM-based workflows in production
- Experience designing data pipelines, structured capture, or transformation processes
- Strong analytical skills with ability to define and improve quality metrics
- Experience working cross-functionally with product, engineering, and domain experts
Experienced in using technologies such as
- Knowledge management platforms: Confluence, SharePoint, Notion Enterprise, Gainsight Knowledge, Guru
- AI / LLM : OpenAI / AzureOpenAI , Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini
- Agentic Workflow & Orchestration: ReAct (Reason + Act), Chain of Thought (CoT) patterns
- AI Operations: Prompt design and evaluation, LLM output evaluation and benchmarking, Model Monitoring and QA, Vector Databases, Markdown files
- Cloud environments: Azure, AWS, Google
The Ideal Candidate
- Has built AI-driven knowledge capture or data pipelines at scale
- Can transform messy, real-world data into structured, usable outputs
- Thinks systemically about data, content, and downstream use
- Works effectively across technical and non-technical teams
- Focuses on building practical, scalable systems
