Responsibilities
- Knowledge Capture and AI Pipelines
- Design and operate AI-powered pipelines to capture knowledge from enterprise systems, meeting transcripts, and engagement artifacts
- Define and evolve the conceptual knowledge model, including key entities, relationships, and ontology governance required to organize and retrieve implementation knowledge at scale
- Manage and optimize AI agents, including prompt design, evaluation, and performance tuning
- Define content-type-specific chunking strategies for consulting artifacts and work with Engineering to implement retrieval-ready knowledge structures
- Define requirements and p articipate in embedding and vectorization evaluation to ensure captured knowledge can be effectively discovered through semantic search and AI-powered retrieval
- 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
- Define entity resolution and canonicalization rules to ensure concepts, terminology, and implementation knowledge are consistently represented across sources
- Quality, AI Readiness and Integration
- Ensure structured outputs support AI-driven use cases including vector search, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), knowledge graph navigation, 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 knowledge models, retrieval pipelines, and platform data models
- Define evaluation criteria for retrieval effectiveness, semantic relevance, and answer quality, and continuously improve knowledge performance through measurement and experimentation
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in knowledge management, information architecture, information systems, semantic technologies, data engineering, or related field
- 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, RAG evaluation frameworks (e.g., RAGAS), retrieval observability tools (e.g., LangSmith , TruLens ), Vector Databases, Markdown files
- Knowledge Modeling & Semantic Technologies: Taxonomy and ontology management platforms (e.g., Semaphore, PoolParty ), knowledge graphs, entity resolution and semantic enrichment tools, graph exploration platforms (e.g., Neo4j Bloom)
- AI Extraction & Document Processing: Unstructured.io, LlamaParse , document intelligence and content extraction platforms
- Cloud environments: Azure, AWS, Google
- The Ideal Candidate
- Has built AI-driven knowledge capture or data
Additional Information
Job Requisition ID # 26WD97787 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 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.
