Distinguished Engineer (PST US / Canada, Remote)



Job description

Position Overview

We are building the foundation of a new Live technology layer for the Autodesk Platform.

This layer will enable real-time collaboration, streaming data, and next-generation simulation across our products — transforming how design decisions are made.

As our Distinguished Engineer, you will set the technical direction for this effort.

You’ll architect and guide the most complex systems that power Live, ensuring they scale reliably, integrate deeply with the Autodesk platform, and unlock new ways for people and AI to work together.

This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role.

You’ll partner with our general manager, senior design and engineering leaders, and product teams across Autodesk.

You’ll be expected to think several steps ahead — solving foundational technical challenges while enabling rapid progress for the team and our partners.

Responsibilities

  • Define the technical architecture of the Live technology layer, spanning real-time collaboration, streaming data, and realistic simulation

  • Make foundational choices around scalability, reliability, and extensibility that set the direction for Autodesk’s next decade of platform growth

  • Partner with product and design leads to translate vision into technical strategy, balancing long-term architecture with near-term delivery

  • Mentor senior engineers, setting a high technical bar and fostering a culture of excellence

  • Lead by doing — contribute to prototyping, core infrastructure development, and system-level problem solving

  • Represent the team’s technology vision to Autodesk’s executive leadership, key partner teams, and industry stakeholders

  • Champion our principles: Live by Default, Reality-Connected, Human-AI Partnership, and Experience First

  • Minimum Qualifications

  • 15+ years of engineering experience with a track record of leading at the Distinguished Engineer/Chief Architect level or equivalent

  • Deep expertise in large-scale distributed systems, real-time data streaming, or high-performance simulation systems

  • Demonstrated ability to define and deliver technical architecture that supports multiple products or business units

  • Strong ability to balance visionary architecture with pragmatic delivery

  • Excellent collaboration skills with senior design, product, and executive leaders

  • Based in the Pacific Time Zone (or able to work core hours)

  • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with real-time collaboration infrastructure (voice, presence, conversation systems)

  • Background in 3D simulation, XR, or physics-based engines

  • Proven ability to influence executive-level decision making with clear technical storytelling

  • Strong track record of mentoring and elevating senior engineers
