Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom Industry Placements Full time
Software Engineer Placement Overview

At Autodesk, we provide engineers with the software they need to imagine, design, and make anything, across every industry you can think of. If you feel excited by the opportunity to wake up every morning, knowing that what you do has a direct impact on shaping our world, then come and be a part of our team at Autodesk.

We are looking for undergraduates that have the talent and ambition to become accomplished software engineers. During your placement with us, we will ensure that you are challenged and given every opportunity to grow your knowledge and experience with the support of an experienced Autodesk developer.

As a software engineer, you will have the opportunity to work in an Agile Scrum team, made up of 5-8 experienced software engineers, as part of a larger software development team working on Fusion 360 and reporting to our Engineering Director. The software we develop is both challenging and rewarding - from writing toolpath algorithms in C++ to developing web components in TypeScript - so we will ensure you get the training and support to help you grow and develop your skills during your time with us.

We offer paid leave, flexible working, private medical cover, plus a new starter stipend. We also encourage our staff to get to know each other, in and out of the office, with subsidised social activities.

Responsibilities
  • Work on real commercial development projects mentored by experienced Autodesk developers
  • Gain experience of working on large team-based software development
  • Learn how to write robust commercial software
  • Gain knowledge of the commercial development processes used at Autodesk
  • Engage with Agile and Scrum working practices
  • Use source control and Continuous Integration platforms such as GitHub and Jenkins
Requirements
  • Minimum 120 UCAS points and predicted 1st or 2:1 degree
  • Programming experience at some level, ideally using a C-style language (e.g., C, C++, Java, C#), is desirable

Autodesk accelerates better design through an unparalleled depth of experience and a broad portfolio of software to give customers the power to solve their design, manufacturing, business, and environmental challenges.

Our staff cover all the disciplines necessary to develop, market, sell and support our software around the world. While most are graduates, they come from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. We are always looking for talented and ambitious individuals across all of our activities, both within our UK division but also across the global network of offices.

We offer all the benefits of working in a large, progressive company, including a bonus scheme, private medical cover, company pension scheme, flexible working, and a subsidised canteen. We can also provide the training, both inside the company and externally, that you may need to increase your skills.

However, through our agile team structure, we ensure that your contribution is significant and well-recognised, plus our sustained growth ensures that there are regular opportunities for promotion and career development.
