Job Description
Job Requisition ID #26WD97787Position OverviewAutodesk'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 Acquisition Analyst 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.
ResponsibilitiesKnowledge Capture and AI PipelinesDesign and operate AI-powered pipelines to capture knowledge from enterprise systems, meeting transcripts, and engagement artifactsDefine and evolve the conceptual knowledge model, including key entities, relationships, and ontology governance required to organize and retrieve implementation knowledge at scaleManage and optimize AI agents, including prompt design, evaluation, and performance tuningDefine content-type-specific chunking strategies for consulting artifacts and work with Engineering to implement retrieval-ready knowledge structuresDefine requirements and participate in embedding and vectorization evaluation to ensure captured knowledge can be effectively discovered through semantic search and AI-powered retrievalDefine and track quality metrics (accuracy, completeness, error rates) and continuously improve pipeline performanceEnsure secure handling of sensitive information, including automated redaction and compliance with governance standardsKnowledge Transformation and Structured IngestionDesign and operate pipelines that convert raw, unstructured inputs into structured, template-aligned outputs using AIMap extracted knowledge to defined content model fields, ensuring outputs are complete, consistent, and production-readyDefine structured capture methods (forms, schemas, workflows) to ensure key context (decisions, constraints, trade-offs) is capturedNormalize and standardize data across sources and identify gaps to improve capture and transformation processesDefine entity resolution and canonicalization rules to ensure concepts, terminology, and implementation knowledge are consistently represented across sourcesQuality, AI Readiness and IntegrationEnsure structured outputs support AI-driven use cases including vector search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), knowledge graph navigation, and downstream content generationPartner with the Content Model Lead to align transformation outputs with templates and structuresCollaborate with Architecture and Engineering to align knowledge models, retrieval pipelines, and platform data modelsDefine evaluation criteria for retrieval effectiveness, semantic relevance, and answer quality, and continuously improve knowledge performance through measurement and experimentationMinimum Qualifications8+ years of experience in knowledge management, information architecture, information systems, semantic technologies, data engineering, or related fieldExperience working with AI/LLM-based workflows in production Experience designing data pipelines, structured capture, or transformation processesStrong analytical skills with ability to define and improve quality metricsExperience working cross-functionally with product, engineering, and domain expertsExperienced in using technologies such as Knowledge management platforms: Confluence, SharePoint, Notion Enterprise, Gainsight Knowledge, Guru
