25WD91457Position Overview
We are building the foundation of a new Live technology layer for the Autodesk Platform. This layer will enable real-time collaboration, streaming data, and next-generation simulation across our products — transforming how design decisions are made.
As our Experience Design Architect, you will shape how people experience this new way of working. You’ll design intuitive, multi-user workflows where humans and AI work side by side, helping customers make better decisions faster than ever before.
This is a senior, hands-on role. You’ll partner directly with our general manager, distinguished engineers, and product leaders across Autodesk. You will define the experience architecture of Live — from how people and AI interact, to how conversations, presence, and data updates feel natural, to how simulations provide immediate, useful feedback.
Responsibilities
Define the experience strategy for Design & Make Live, ensuring workflows are human-centered, reality-connected, and AI-augmented
Architect multi-user interaction patterns (voice, presence, conversation, simulation feedback) that feel natural and scalable across industries
Partner with engineering leads to translate platform capabilities (Live Collaboration, Live Data, Realistic Simulation) into compelling, usable workflows
Lead rapid prototyping and concept validation to explore new interaction paradigms, leveraging AI to accelerate iteration
Collaborate with internal product teams from our three Industry Clouds — Forma, Fusion, and Flow to integrate Live experiences into real customer workflows
Act as the voice of experience design in a small, senior team—balancing vision with pragmatic delivery
Champion our principles: Live by Default, Reality-Connected, Human-AI Partnership, and Experience First
Minimum Qualifications
10+ years in UX architecture, interaction design, or product design, with experience at the system or platform level (not just feature design)
Strong track record of designing for emerging technologies (AI, real-time collaboration, XR, multi-modal interaction)
Ability to think holistically across data, interaction, and visualization, not just UI screens
Excellent collaboration skills with senior engineers and product leaders
Comfort working in a small, autonomous, high-trust team with broad responsibility
Based in the Pacific Time Zone (or able to work core hours)
Preferred Qualifications
Experience designing AI-augmented workflows where humans and intelligent systems collaborate
Familiarity with architecture, engineering, or manufacturing workflows
Expertise in design systems and scalable interaction patterns
Strong storytelling skills to communicate vision and prototypes to executives and partners
