Job description

Position Overview

Help shape how millions of people experience AI inside the tools they use to design and make the world. As Principal Experience Designer on the platform team behind the Autodesk Assistant, you’ll define the interaction patterns that every Autodesk product team adopts when they bring AI to their customers. It’s a rare canvas: the patterns you set will show up across the software behind the world’s buildings, products, and content.

Designers at Autodesk can think across the system, champion design ideas, collaborate with stakeholders, advocate for the customer, and deliver impactful data-driven designs. Our designers use creative and innovative solutions to deliver high-quality experiences that delight our customers.

The Autodesk Assistant is how customers will experience AI across our Design and Make platform, embedded inside Autodesk products. In this position you’ll set the design direction for the conversational, agentic, and visual interaction patterns the Assistant exposes to every product team in the portfolio. You’ll join a platform team whose goal is to make AI feel trustworthy, capable, and unmistakably Autodesk everywhere it appears. The patterns you define will ship to millions of professionals, and the trust bar for AI here is unusually high. Our platform team stewards the patterns that earn it.

At Autodesk we look to hire innovators who reimagine what’s possible, those with diverse backgrounds who elevate our thinking, and leaders who help shape the world and our future.

**For consideration, candidates must include both a resume + portfolio with password when applying.**

Light travel, approximately 2-3 times per year, North America.

Responsibilities

  • Define the conversational, agentic, and visual interaction patterns that every Autodesk product team adopts when integrating the Autodesk Assistant, including reasoning visibility (chain-of-thought), action controls (cancel, retry, accept, undo), and citation and grounding experiences

  • Author the Autodesk Assistant pattern library so teams across the portfolio adopt scalable, customizable patterns rather than building point solutions, and set what good looks like for AI experiences across Autodesk

  • You’ll raise the bar for craft and responsible AI across the Autodesk Assistant program, defining and tracking the quality signals that tell us an agentic interaction earned its outcome

  • Mentor designers on the platform team, and coach designers across Autodesk who are shipping Autodesk Assistant capabilities inside their own products

  • Partner with senior leaders across Product, Engineering, and AI Research to shape Autodesk Assistant decisions across the portfolio, and push on frontier-model capabilities when the experience demands it

Minimum Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in UX design, product design, or a related field

  • Expert grounding in human-centered design, with a track record of applying it across complex problems

  • A clear point of view on what makes an AI experience high-quality, and the craft to back it up

  • You’ve designed conversational, agentic, or chat-based interaction patterns that other teams have adopted in their own work, the kind of systems-and-patterns thinking meant to be used by other teams rather than consumed once

  • You’ve shipped generative AI experiences to production with measurable user or business impact, including prototyping for edge cases, failure modes, and probabilistic outputs

  • You’re at home in ambiguity, staying effective when the model is probabilistic, the requirements are evolving, and the right answer is something you have to find

  • You’re AI-native in how you work. You use tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or Claude Code in your daily practice, and your portfolio includes work where AI tools were part of how it was made, not only what it was about

  • Fluency in Figma, plus the comfort to pick up adjacent prototyping tools as the work demands

  • A proven track record of mentoring designers and elevating the skill set of a design organization, as a player/coach who ships your own work while lifting the people around you

  • Excellent communication skills and a habit of close cross-functional collaboration

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience designing for multi-agent workflows or tool-use orchestration

  • Familiarity with frameworks for evaluating AI experience quality (e.g. Minimum Trustworthiness, Transformative Value, or equivalent quality-gate models)

  • Experience designing within organizational AI governance principles (Trusted AI, Responsible AI, Ethical AI, or equivalent)

  • A track record of external thought leadership in AI design: talks, writing, open-source patterns, or community contributions

26WD98133, Concepteur principal d'expérience utilisateur

Aperçu du Poste

Contribuez à façonner la manière dont des millions de personnes interagissent avec l’IA au sein des outils qu’elles utilisent pour concevoir et créer le monde qui les entoure. En tant que concepteur d’expérience principal au sein de l’équipe chargée de la plateforme derrière Autodesk Assistant, vous définirez les modèles d’interaction que chaque équipe produit d’Autodesk adoptera lorsqu’elle mettra l’IA à la disposition de ses clients. Il s’agit d’un terrain d’action unique : les modèles que vous établirez se retrouveront dans l’ensemble des logiciels qui sous-tendent les bâtiments, les produits et les contenus du monde entier.

Chez Autodesk, les concepteurs sont capables d’adopter une vision globale du système, de défendre des idées de conception, de collaborer avec les parties prenantes, de se faire les porte-parole des clients et de proposer des conceptions percutantes, fondées sur les données. Nos concepteurs ont recours à des solutions créatives et innovantes pour offrir des expériences de grande qualité qui ravissent nos clients.

L’Autodesk Assistant est le moyen par lequel les clients découvriront l’IA sur notre plateforme « Design and Make », intégrée aux produits Autodesk. À ce poste, vous définirez l’orientation conceptuelle des modèles d’interaction conversationnels, agentiques et visuels que l’Assistant mettra à la disposition de toutes les équipes produit du portefeuille. Vous rejoindrez une équipe de plateforme dont l’objectif est de faire en sorte que l’IA soit perçue comme fiable, performante et indéniablement « Autodesk » partout où elle apparaît. Les modèles que vous définirez seront mis à la disposition de millions de professionnels, et le niveau d’exigence en matière de confiance envers l’IA est ici exceptionnellement élevé. Notre équipe de plateforme veille à ce que ces modèles soient à la hauteur de cette confiance.

Chez Autodesk, nous recherchons des innovateurs qui réinventent ce qui est possible, des personnes aux parcours variés qui enrichissent notre réflexion, et des leaders qui contribuent à façonner le monde et notre avenir.

**Pour que leur candidature soit prise en compte, les candidats doivent joindre à leur candidature un CV et un portfolio protégé par un mot de passe.**

Déplacements légers, environ 2 à 3 fois par an, en Amérique du Nord.

Responsabilités

  • Définir les modèles d’interaction conversationnelle, agentique et visuelle que chaque équipe produit d’Autodesk adopte lors de l’intégration d’Autodesk Assistant, y compris la visibilité du raisonnement (chaîne de pensée), les commandes d’action (annuler, réessayer, accepter, revenir en arrière), ainsi que les expériences de citation et d’ancrage

  • Rédiger la bibliothèque de modèles de l’Autodesk Assistant afin que les équipes de l’ensemble du portefeuille adoptent des modèles évolutifs et personnalisables plutôt que de développer des solutions ponctuelles, et définir les critères d’excellence pour les expériences d’IA au sein d’Autodesk

  • Vous placerez la barre plus haut en matière de savoir-faire et d’IA responsable dans le cadre du programme Autodesk Assistant, en définissant et en suivant les indicateurs de qualité qui nous permettent de déterminer si une interaction agentique a mérité son résultat

  • Accompagner les concepteurs de l’équipe de la plateforme et encadrer les concepteurs d’Autodesk qui intègrent les fonctionnalités d’Autodesk Assistant dans leurs propres produits

  • Collaborer avec les dirigeants des départements Produit, Ingénierie et Recherche en IA pour orienter les décisions relatives à Autodesk Assistant à l’échelle du portefeuille, et faire progresser les capacités des modèles de pointe lorsque l’expérience l’exige

Qualifications Minimales

  • Au moins 8 ans d’expérience en conception UX, en conception de produits ou dans un domaine connexe

  • Une expertise solide en conception centrée sur l’utilisateur, avec une expérience avérée de son application à des problèmes complexes

  • Une vision claire de ce qui fait la qualité d’une expérience d’IA, et le savoir-faire nécessaire pour l’étayer

  • Vous avez conçu des modèles d’interaction conversationnels, agentiques ou basés sur le chat que d’autres équipes ont adoptés dans leur propre travail ; il s’agit d’une approche axée sur les systèmes et les modèles destinée à être réutilisée par d’autres équipes plutôt qu’à un usage ponctuel

  • Vous avez mis en production des expériences d’IA générative ayant un impact mesurable sur les utilisateurs ou l’entreprise, y compris le prototypage de cas limites, de modes de défaillance et de résultats probabilistes

  • Vous êtes à l’aise dans l’ambiguïté, restant efficace lorsque le modèle est probabiliste, que les exigences évoluent et que la bonne réponse est quelque chose que vous devez trouver

  • Votre façon de travailler est intrinsèquement axée sur l’IA. Vous utilisez des outils tels que ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor ou Claude Code dans votre pratique quotidienne, et votre portfolio comprend des travaux où les outils d’IA ont fait partie intégrante de leur processus de création, et pas seulement de leur sujet

  • Maîtrise de Figma, ainsi que l’aisance nécessaire pour s’adapter à des outils de prototypage connexes en fonction des besoins du projet

  • Une expérience avérée dans l’accompagnement de designers et le renforcement des compétences d’une équipe de design, en tant qu’acteur et coach capable de livrer votre propre travail tout en faisant progresser les personnes qui vous entourent

  • D’excellentes compétences en communication et l’habitude d’une collaboration interfonctionnelle étroite

Qualifications Souhaitées

  • Une expérience dans la conception de flux de travail multi-agents ou dans l’orchestration de l’utilisation d’outils

  • Une bonne connaissance des cadres d’évaluation de la qualité de l’expérience IA (par exemple : « Minimum Trustworthiness », « Transformative Value » ou des modèles équivalents de contrôle qualité)

  • Une expérience de la conception dans le respect des principes de gouvernance organisationnelle de l’IA (IA de confiance, IA responsable, IA éthique ou équivalent)

  • Une expérience avérée en matière de leadership d’opinion externe dans le domaine de la conception en IA : conférences, publications, modèles open source ou contributions à la communauté
