Position Overview
At Autodesk AEC, we help teams meet the world’s rapidly expanding building and infrastructure needs while making design and construction more predictable, safe, and sustainable. The Construction Field Delivery team is transforming how projects are delivered through a connected productivity platform that is intuitive, scalable, AI-driven, and seamlessly accessible across mobile, and web.

We’re seeking a Principal UX Designer to join our Field Delivery team to own key workflows across mobile, web, and emerging agentic interfaces used in the construction field. This is a highly strategic individual contributor role focused on defining the long-term vision, experience architecture, and design quality for our most critical field workflows. You will shape how construction teams capture, understand, and act on projects in dynamic, real-world environments.

As a principal-level designer, you will operate with high autonomy, partnering closely with product, engineering, and research leadership to align on strategy, define durable experience frameworks, and elevate the craft and systems thinking of the broader team. Curiosity and excitement about exploring new interaction models, including agentic experiences, are essential, as are design details and willingness to be "in the weeds."

Responsibilities

Define and drive the long-term experience vision for the workflows across mobile, web, and agentic surfaces

Own the end-to-end experience strategy ensuring usability, scalability, data clarity, and workflow efficiency in complex field environments

Lead design work from discovery through implementation, setting a high bar for craft, clarity, and execution quality

Influence product roadmap and prioritization by identifying opportunity areas, workflow gaps, and systemic user challenges within progress tracking

Partner closely with product managers, engineering leads, and researchers to align on direction, drive informed tradeoffs, and ensure feasibility without compromising experience quality

Guide and elevate design quality through critique, mentorship, and establishing best practices for workflow-driven and field-based experiences

Create compelling artifacts including journey maps, system models, prototypes, and vision concepts to align stakeholders and drive clarity in decision-making

Represent design in cross-functional and leadership discussions, clearly articulating vision, tradeoffs, and measurable user impact

Minimum Qualifications

8+ years of professional UX or product design experience, with demonstrated impact leading complex, workflow-heavy product areas

Strong portfolio showcasing ownership of end-to-end experiences for mobile and web products, including complex operational or data-driven workflows

Proven ability to define experience strategy and influence product direction beyond feature-level design

Deep expertise in translating complex user needs and business requirements into scalable, intuitive interaction models

Strong proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools

Exceptional communication and storytelling skills, with experience presenting to cross-functional and leadership stakeholders

Demonstrated ability to work autonomously and drive alignment in fast-paced, collaborative environments

Preferred Qualifications

Experience designing enterprise or workflow-heavy SaaS products

Experience designing for construction tech, field-based, operational, or mobile-first users

Experience designing agentic or AI-assisted interaction models

Experience shaping or contributing to design systems that support complex workflows

Experience mentoring designers and elevating design standards within a team
