Experience Design Architect (PST US / Canada, Remote)

Position 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
