Position Overview

At Autodesk, we’re reimagining what’s possible. As a global leader in 3D design, engineering, and entertainment software, we help people everywhere imagine, design, and create a better world. Right now, we’re transforming how our products work by moving to the cloud—opening exciting opportunities for collaboration, innovation, and impact.

What sets us apart isn’t just our technology, but our culture. At Autodesk, you’ll find an inclusive, supportive environment where early-career talent can grow, be creative, and make real impact. It’s one of the reasons we’ve been consistently recognized by Fortune, Forbes, and Glassdoor as a top place to work.

Over three months in our Summer 2026 Internship Program, you’ll gain hands-on experience, mentorship, and opportunities to grow your engineering and domain expertise, while making real contributions to Autodesk’s Fusion product. Alongside technical growth, you’ll develop soft skills and build connections with other interns, locally in your office, regionally across EMEA, and globally, through programs designed just for interns.

As a Software Engineer Intern on the Fusion team, you’ll work alongside an Agile Scrum team of experienced developers, tackling real engineering challenges. Whether you’re coding algorithms in C++, building web features in TypeScript, or exploring AI-driven tools, you’ll gain mentorship, guidance, and the autonomy to make a meaningful impact.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with an Agile Scrum team to deliver real product features in Fusion
• Contribute to substantial production codebases and industry-recognised tools
• Gain hands-on experience with C++, TypeScript, and modern software development practices
• Apply Agile and Scrum practices, building your teamwork and project management skills
• Use source control and Continuous Integration platforms such as GitHub and Jenkins
• Explore emerging technologies such as AI-driven tools
• Share your progress and achievements in team meetings, gaining feedback and recognition

• Enthusiasm for learning new technologies and a proactive approach to problem-solving

The Ideal Candidate

We welcome applications from students with either a maths/physics or computer science background. You might bring:

• A strong maths/physics foundation, demonstrated through problem-solving in our interview assessment day OR familiarity with modern software practices such as automated testing, CI/CD, or DevOps
• Curiosity about AI-driven development or related technologies
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work well in a team
• Previous internship or project experience in a related field (a plus but not required)
