About The Position

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, Agents and 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 notebook-style and workflow-oriented surfaces. You will be accountable for designing how users initiate, iterate, and operationalize work with AI, shaping human–AI collaboration patterns that feel intuitive, contextual, and outcome-driven rather than task-driven. This role requires deep interaction design craft across emerging paradigms such as search, data-informed personalization, and context-aware experiences. You will work closely with Product, Engineering, Research, Personalization, Content Design, including designers working in adjacent AI-focused spaces, while leveraging existing user research and experience architecture to turn complex system capabilities into clear, usable, and trustworthy experiences while modeling strong cross-functional ways of working.

Requirements

• 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

Nice To Haves

• 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

Responsibilities

• Lead the design of the core interaction model for notebook-style, workflow-oriented agent experiences
• Define how users initiate, refine, and operationalize work with AI across multi-step workflows and evolving contexts
• Establish human–AI collaboration patterns that feel intuitive, transparent, and outcome-driven rather than task-driven
• Design end-to-end flows, interaction patterns, states, and behaviors for agent-assisted experiences across key product surfaces
• 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 workflow and agent experience 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
