Principal Experience Designer, Agentic Workflows

Autodesk Autodesk · Enterprise · AMER - Canada - Ontario - Toronto - University Ave

Principal Experience Designer focused on defining the core interaction model for Autodesk’s future agentic product experiences, emphasizing personalized workflow-oriented surfaces and human-AI collaboration patterns. The role involves designing how users initiate, iterate, and operationalize work with AI, translating complex system capabilities into intuitive product experiences.

What you'd actually do

  1. Lead the design of adaptive, context-aware workflows that respond to user signals and product behaviors in real time
  2. Design end-to-end flows, interaction patterns, component behaviors, and interface states for personalized and agent-assisted experiences
  3. Translate complex system capabilities, search behaviors, contextual inputs, and personalized signals into usable and understandable product experiences
  4. Create detailed wireframes, prototypes, and interaction designs that communicate workflow logic, adaptive behavior, edge cases, and system responses
  5. Design interaction patterns that help users understand what the system is doing, when it is acting, and how to guide, refine, confirm, or override it
