Senior Principal UX Designer — AI-Driven Systems (Remote)

SupportFinity™; Boston (MA); Remote; USD 155,000 - 278,000; Full time

Job summary

Autodesk is seeking a Senior Principal UX Designer to shape end-to-end AI-driven design workflows across Fusion and related platforms. This role blends UX, systems thinking, and computation to redefine how products are conceived, engineered, and manufactured.

You’ll define the UX vision, design system-level workflows, and prototype interaction paradigms while collaborating with product, engineering, research, and data science to deliver scalable, technically grounded experiences.

Qualifications

• 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.

Responsibilities

• 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 that make complex logic accessible and powerful.
• Translate real-world product development processes into coherent digital workflows.
• Collaborate 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.
• Lead by doing: elevate teams through systems thinking, rapid prototyping, storytelling, and a strong point of view on the future of design tooling.
