Autodesk·Machine Learning Engineer·Technical Phone Screen
Apr 2026
Interviewed for an ML Engineer role at Autodesk, technical phone screen focused heavily on 3D data pipelines and representation formats. Pretty niche stuff, felt like they wanted someone who'd actually shipped a 3D ML system before.
- What's your experience with 3D geometry data? Walk through the common representation formats, how you preprocess and augment them, and how you'd handle storing and serving that data for both training and inference.
“This question is basically four questions stitched together and I didn't realize that until I was already mid-answer on point clouds.”
