** 26WD94610
* * Autodesk Fusion
** You see AI not as automation alone, but as a new creative medium.## What You’ll Do
* 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 (5 years+ ) (e.g., Bifrost, Dynamo, Grasshopper-style systems) that make complex logic accessible and powerful.
* Translate real-world product development processes — including multi-product systems and configurable product ranges — into coherent digital workflows.
* Collaborate deeply 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 (AI agents, parametric logic, 2D/3D modeling, simulation, collaboration, versioning).
* Lead by doing: elevate teams through systems thinking, rapid prototyping, storytelling, and a strong point of view on the future of design tooling.
** Minimum 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.
** Ideal Candidate
*** You are a systems thinker and design leader who moves fluidly between concept and execution. You are equally comfortable discussing mechanical constraints, automation logic, and interaction patterns.
* You understand model-based systems engineering (MBSE) principles or have worked in environments where product architectures, configurations, and automation pipelines are central.
* You thrive in ambiguity and bring clarity through structured thinking. You can define a vision for the future of product creation — and then help make it real.### Why This Role Matters If you are passionate about shaping how the next generation of physical products are designed — from consumer devices to complex engineered systems — this is your opportunity to help define the future workflow of design and making at Autodesk.
