Role
Who you are
- 8+ years of experience working on content experiences with demonstrated systems thinking beyond microcopy
- Hands-on experience developing AI-driven product experiences, including conversational, embedded, or agentic systems
- Strong ability to design language and explanation patterns that make system behavior understandable, predictable, and trustworthy for users
- Demonstrated success partnering with UX, product, engineering, and AI teams, influencing decisions through collaboration rather than ownership
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to mentor others and communicate clearly across disciplines
- Comfort operating in ambiguity, shaping new patterns and practices as AI capabilities evolve
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Principal Content Experience Designer for AI to define and actively design how language, interaction, and intelligence work together to create clear, trustworthy AI experiences within Autodesk’s Product Design & Manufacturing products
- This is a hands‑on Principal role where you lead content design for high‑impact AI initiatives and agent experiences, while also defining the language frameworks and explanation patterns that enable clear, predictable, and trustworthy AI at scale
- You shape and deliver how AI explains actions, requests input, and provides feedback across conversational, embedded, and background experiences, turning platform guidance into effective in‑product patterns grounded in real customer workflows
- Lead hands‑on content design for priority AI initiatives and agent experiences, from early concept through launch, including conversational flows, embedded guidance, and system feedback
- Define and evolve scalable language and explanation frameworks that guide how AI communicates intent, actions, uncertainty, and outcomes across agents
- Design clear in‑product explanations, prompts, and feedback loops that make AI behavior understandable and actionable for customers in real workflows
- Partner closely with AI, experience design, product, and engineering teams to ensure language, interaction, and system behavior form a cohesive, trustworthy experience
- Translate AI platform guidance into practical, shippable content patterns that teams can apply consistently in live products
- Provide strategic guidance and enablement, while staying close to the work, to help teams apply shared content frameworks across use cases
- Mentor and coach designers and cross‑functional partners through active critique, co‑design, and example‑setting, not just documentation
- Stay current on AI interaction and agent design trends, rapidly applying insights to active product challenges
- Use storytelling and clear communication to explain decisions, influence direction, and amplify impact with partners and leadership
Application process
- To be considered, you must apply and include your resume and portfolio with password if required
Our take
Autodesk supplies software that enables teams to collaborate, design, simulate, and fabricate their ideas in 3D, serving a range of industries such as engineering, product design, and entertainment. Founded in 1982, the company first delivered the AutoCAD system, a commercial computer-aided design and drafting software application, that is still seeing updated releases to this day.
Over 100 million people use Autodesk software across various industries and applications – in some of which it remains nearly irreplaceable. The company has an impressive history of diversification, which it continues to this day. For example, the 2022 acquisition of Moxion, a cloud-based platform for digital dailies used by leading filmmakers, bolstered the company’s offerings for the media and entertainment industry.
The rise of AR and VR technologies is driving modern growth in the computer-aided design market, creating space for Autodesk to expand further. Additionally, a shift to the popular SaaS model positions the company to seek further success.
