About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

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.
