Principal Experience Designer

26WD97359

At Autodesk, we do what no other company can: we help our customers design and make anything. As we continue to transform how customers experience Autodesk, we are investing in insight-driven product development, seamless digital experiences, and AI-powered innovation to help people achieve meaningful outcomes faster and smarter.  To deliver on that vision, we need exceptional contributors and leaders who are curious, adaptable, customer-focused, and excited to help shape the future of work at Autodesk.

We are seeking a Principal Experience Designer, Agentic Workflows, to join the Applied Intelligence design team in the Experience Foundations organization of the Architecture, Engineering, Construction (AEC) Division.  This is strategic design role focused on defining the core interaction model for Autodesk’s future agentic product experiences, with particular emphasis on personalized workflow-oriented surfaces. You will be accountable for designing how users initiate, iterate, and operationalize work with AI, shaping human–AI collaboration patterns that are adaptive, intuitive and contextually focused on outcome-driven rather than task-driven experiences.

Working closely with Product, Engineering, Research, Data Science, and Content Strategy, you will translate signals, workflow context, and system intelligence into intuitive product experiences that support customers in the flow of work while modeling strong cross-functional ways of working.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design of adaptive, context-aware workflows that respond to user signals and product behaviors in real time
• Design end-to-end flows, interaction patterns, component behaviors, and interface states for personalized and agent-assisted experiences
• Translate complex system capabilities, search behaviors, contextual inputs, and personalized signals into usable and understandable product experiences
• Create detailed wireframes, prototypes, and interaction designs that communicate workflow logic, adaptive behavior, edge cases, and system responses
• Design interaction patterns that help users understand what the system is doing, when it is acting, and how to guide, refine, confirm, or override it
• Contribute to design patterns and guidance for agentic and generative UI experiences that can scale across Autodesk’s future product experiences
• Partner with Product, Engineering, Research, Content Design, and Applied Intelligence teams to bring concepts from idea through delivery
• Leverage existing research and experience architecture to inform design decisions while extending patterns for new agentic workflows and surfaces
• Ensure experiences meet a high bar for usability, accessibility, trust, and inclusive design
• Influence product and experience decisions through strong design craft, clear rationale, and collaboration without formal authority
• Model thoughtful, customer-centered ways of working to improve clarity, alignment, and execution across complex initiatives

Minimum Qualifications

• 8+ years of professional UX or product design experience with demonstrated impact designing complex digital products
• Proven experience designing sophisticated interaction models, workflows, and end-to-end user experiences for software products in AI-assisted, agent-like, search-driven, or context-aware experiences
• Demonstrated ability to translate complex systems, behavioral signals, or business logic into simple and intuitive user experiences
• Strong portfolio showing hands-on design craft, systems thinking, and high-quality execution across ambiguous product problems
• Strong ability to influence without authority and align partners around a clear experience direction
• Proven ability to define experience strategy and influence product direction beyond feature-level design
• Track record of influencing cross-functional partners and driving alignment across Design, Product, Engineering, and Research
• Comfort working in fast-moving environments with evolving AI capabilities, product requirements, and design constraints

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience designing enterprise or workflow-heavy SaaS products
• Experience designing agentic or AI-assisted interaction models
• Experience shaping or contributing to design systems that support complex workflows
• Experience mentoring designers and elevating design standards within a team
