MaintainX, now part of Autodesk Operations Solutions, is seeking an Applied AI Engineer to own the Generation half of Document Intelligence. This role focuses on turning multimodal primitives (keyframes, transcripts, OCR) into schema-valid entities like Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) while maintaining strict quality standards. Key responsibilities include designing and iterating recipe prompts (system, few-shot, and context assembly) for each generation recipe; defining per-entity target schemas and domain validators to ensure generated output meets quality standards; building generation-quality evaluation datasets and rubrics using LLMX's eval pipeline; assembling multimodal context windows from keyframes, transcripts, and OCR to optimize each model call; and selecting appropriate models and token budgets based on quality, cost, and latency tradeoffs. You will work with LLMX for model access and Attachments for ingestion, handing off validated entities to domain-owning teams. You'll report to the Engineering Lead and collaborate closely with the Processing side of Document Intelligence. Required qualifications include strong applied GenAI craft with expertise in prompt engineering, structured output/tool-use, and RAG patterns; demonstrated eval discipline with experience building datasets, rubrics, and measuring factuality/relevance/quality; shipped LLM features in production services (not notebooks) with ability to connect model performance to product impact; and comfort working with multimodal inputs including video, PDF, audio, and images. Nice-to-have skills include LLM observability and cost awareness, experience with eval platforms, document/PDF/video understanding, OCR expertise, retrieval systems knowledge, light fine-tuning experience, or familiarity with industrial/maintenance domains. MaintainX serves 13,000+ customers including Duracell, McDonald's, Shell, DHL, and Volvo, managing 13.9 million assets and 79.5 million completed work orders. The company's mission is to keep the physical world running by providing tools for maintenance teams in factories, fleets, hospitals, and campuses.
