Senior Principal UX Designer – Computational, AI-Driven Design Systems
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 — including multi-product systems and configurable product ranges — 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.Requirements
- 15+ years of experience in UX, industrial design, mechanical engineering, or computational design
- Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering, UX, or related field (Preferred)
- Master’s degree in Design, Mechanical Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related discipline
- Proven experience designing tools or workflows used in product development, industrial design, or mechanical engineering
- Strong understanding of: Parametric and generative modeling, Computational design systems, AI-assisted creation workflows, Design-for-manufacturing principles
- Experience with node- and graph-based environments (e.g., Autodesk Bifrost, Dynamo, Grasshopper, or similar automation systems)
- Experience designing workflows for systems-level or configurable product development, not just single artifacts
- Demonstrated ability to translate complex technical systems into clear, intuitive user experiences
- Strong collaboration with engineering teams building deeply technical platforms
