Description
Job Requisition ID #
26WD98514
Are you a savvy UX designer with a passion for creating beautiful, innovative solutions for important, impactful problems? Do you want to grow your career in a global team of passionate design professionals? Autodesk is looking for a Senior Experience Designer to join our Inventor Experience Design (XD) team to help shape the future of product design and manufacturing.
In this role, you will apply your experience design, product thinking, and research skills to craft the next generation of workflows and capabilities within Autodesk Inventor. You will work closely with a team of talented designers and partners across Product Management, Software Engineering, Architecture, Content Development, and Quality Assurance to create compelling experiences that help customers solve complex “design and make” challenges.
This role is focused on advancing Inventor for professional mechanical design and documentation workflows while strengthening alignment across the broader Fusion ecosystem. You will be expected to work with greater autonomy, own ambiguous problems from framing through validation, and influence design direction through strong collaboration, clear storytelling, and sound decision-making. A strong candidate will thrive in a fast-paced, highly visible work stream and be energized by creating outcomes that delight customers while meeting business objectives and timelines.
We are also looking for someone with strong curiosity about AI: a designer eager to explore how AI, automation, and intelligent assistance can improve customer outcomes, reduce friction in complex workflows, and help shape the future of Inventor in a responsible, human-centered way.
At Autodesk, you will work on some of the most intriguing challenges you have ever seen, be part of a dynamic and collaborative workplace, and have opportunities to engage directly with the Autodesk community. If this sounds like your thing, read on.
