Job Description

Define the UX vision and strategy for next-generation AI-powered workflows within Autodesk Fusion and related platforms.
Design system-level workflows that span ideation, parametric modeling, simulation, automation, and manufacturing.
Invent and prototype new interaction paradigms that integrate computational design, generative techniques, and AI assistance into intuitive creation environments.
Architect node- and graph-based automation experiences (5 years+) (e.g., Bifrost, Dynamo, Grasshopper-style systems) that make complex logic accessible and powerful.
Translate real-world product development processes β€” including multi-product systems and configurable product ranges β€” into coherent digital workflows.
Collaborate deeply with product, engineering, research, and data science to deliver scalable, technically grounded user experiences.
Contribute to a unified Autodesk design system capable of expressing multi-modal workflows (AI agents, parametric logic, 2D/3D modeling, simulation, collaboration, versioning).
Lead by doing: elevate teams through systems thinking, rapid prototyping, storytelling, and a strong point of view on the future of design tooling.
