Position Overview

Autodesk is looking for a Principal Software Engineer to join our team focused on shaping the future of Fusion Factory solutions. We are looking for a person who is enthusiastic about delivering innovative solutions aimed at providing a Device Independent experience. The ideal candidate will have experience in all aspects of software development for desktop and web applications.

The Fusion Factory vision is to enable factories at any scale to drive continual improvement by learning from and optimizing production and facility operations to achieve business objectives. The mission is to establish a frictionless digital thread connecting AEC & Manufacturing, with seamless coordination across the factory value chain, enabling companies to exceed their time, cost, and quality goals.

The Fusion Factory will be a part of the Fusion platform and will have tools to design, build, and operate factories.
