Principal UX Designer

About us

Autodesk is transforming how the world is designed and made. We’re looking for a Principal Experience Designer to join the Forma Design team, shaping the future of early-stage planning and design in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) industry. 

It doesn’t matter if you call yourself a UX designer, product designer, digital designer, or something in-between. We are looking for someone to fit a senior individual contributor role with broad product scope, strong cross-team influence, and a focus on elevating design quality and coherence. 

In this role, you will lead design for complex product areas within the Forma platform, driving high-quality, scalable user experiences. You’ll operate at both strategic and execution levels, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Research, and AI agents to define direction and deliver impactful solutions. 

You will join a close-knit design community of 20 designers who actively collaborate, share feedback, and support each other in raising the bar for design quality.
 

Required 

• 8+ years of experience in experience design, product design, UX or similar 

• Proven experience leading design processes for complex digital products 

• Ability to work across strategy and detailed execution 

• Translate product vision and user needs into clear experience strategies and solutions 

• Experience collaborating and leading design in cross-functional product teams 

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills. You influence decisions through clear communication, prototyping, and storytelling 

• Experience working with or contributing to design systems 
   

Preferred  

• Demonstrated AI fluency in your own work: you've used AI to unlock capabilities you didn't have before and can show a clear before/after in how you operate as a designer 

• Visual design skills 

• Interest or background in AEC, construction technology, early-stage design workflows, or related domains
