Senior Experience Designer – Inventor

Role Overview

• Lead experience design for complex Inventor workflows and features, with a particular focus on design, documentation, and associated mechanical design experiences.
• Partner closely with product managers, engineers, architects, and fellow designers to frame problems, shape strategy, and define user-centered solutions that balance customer needs, technical constraints, and business goals.
• Plan, create, and communicate design artifacts across multiple levels of fidelity, including sketches, workflows, wireframes, prototypes, and detailed UX specifications.
• Translate customer needs, research findings, product goals, and domain complexity into clear interaction models and scalable design directions.
• Participate in and help drive customer research, usability studies, and other validation activities to deepen understanding of customer workflows, pain points, and opportunities.
• Prototype and explore AI
• and automation-enabled experiences that improve clarity, efficiency, trust, and user control in professional design workflows.
• Help the team think critically about where AI can create real customer value, and where human judgment, transparency, and precision must remain central to the experience.
• Communicate design rationale clearly to a wide range of audiences, including engineering, product leadership, quality assurance, sales, and marketing.
• Contribute actively to design critiques and team rituals, while helping raise the quality bar through thoughtful feedback, mentoring, and strong collaboration.
• Review implemented features, test plans, and related documentation to help ensure that the shipped experience reflects the intended design outcomes.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in experience design, UX design, product design, or a related field.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent work experience in UX design or a related field such as human-computer interaction, industrial design, architecture, or mechanical engineering.
• Strong fundamentals in human-centered design, interaction design, information architecture, and usability best practices.
• Demonstrated experience designing for complex software workflows, ideally in desktop or professional-grade environments.
• Experience with Autodesk products, Inventor, or adjacent CAD/CAM technologies such as Fusion, AutoCAD, Mastercam, SOLIDWORKS, Onshape, Creo, or similar platforms.
• Experience designing solutions for complex, multi-faceted product experiences such as 3D modeling, assemblies, documentation, simulation, or data-rich workflows.
• Strong proficiency with design and prototyping tools such as Figma, Adobe XD, Sketch, or comparable tools.
• Experience conducting or partnering on user research, including interviews, workflow studies, and usability testing, and applying findings to improve design decisions.
• Experience working in Agile environments and collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to execute against product strategy.
• Strong communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to explain complex or technical topics clearly to non-technical audiences.
• Ability to influence decisions, drive alignment, and work effectively across disciplines and time zones.
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of ambiguous problems, make thoughtful tradeoffs, and drive work from concept through execution.
• Interest in emerging technology and a clear curiosity about how AI and automation can improve product experiences and customer outcomes.
