Position Overview

Location: London, UK or Toronto, Canada

The construction industry, a $15 trillion behemoth, is undergoing a digital transformation. We're seeking a passionate and innovative intern to explore how the latest advancements in AI and Computer Vision can be leveraged to improve this industry.

This internship will focus on developing and refining a Construction Digital Twin, a cutting-edge virtual representation of construction sites that integrates diverse data sources (e.g., 3D scans, sensor data, drone footage, BIM) and utilizes AI/ML to provide actionable insights.

As an intern with Autodesk Research, you will be part of a global team of researchers specializing in robotics, software engineering, and AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction). You'll have the opportunity to work on research projects that have a tangible influence on the goals of the organization and the company at large.

Responsibilities

  • Assist in Developing and Refining Digital Twin Models: Contribute to the creation and optimization of digital twin models that represent construction sites
  • Research AI/ML Model Development: Explore and experiment with AI/ML models (e.g., CNNs, LSTMs) for tasks such as object detection and data analysis
  • Investigate Computer Vision Techniques: Study and implement Computer Vision techniques like object detection and photogrammetry
  • Conduct and Present Research: Perform research on cutting-edge AI/ML techniques for construction applications and present your findings to the team. Contribute to reports or academic papers

Minimum Qualifications

  • Pursuing a Master's or PhD in Computer Science, Data Science, Construction, Architecture, Civil Engineering, or a related field
  • Strong Computer Science (CS) fundamentals, with proficiency in Python for automation and data processing
  • Experience with Computer Vision tools (e.g., YOLO, Segment Anything, Detectron2) for object detection, segmentation, and video/image analysis
  • Understanding of AI/ML concepts, with hands-on experience in training and fine-tuning models using frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow
  • Experience with Generative AI tools such as GPT, DALL-E, Gemini, and a solid understanding of underlying Machine Learning pipelines
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Creative, flexible, and enjoy working with new technology

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.
