Experience Architect, Transportation (Canada / Remote)
Position Overview
Autodesk is seeking an Experience Architect to lead experience design for infrastructure and transportation workflows. This role operates as an individual contributor and serves as a strategic partner to senior design and product leadership, shaping how infrastructure design workflows function across products, platforms, and services.
You will be the company’s recognized expert in infrastructure experience design, working across Civil 3D, Revit, Forma, ReCap and related platform capabilities. Your work will focus on complex, cross-product workflows such as corridor-based design, alignments, grading, surfaces, geolocation, and data interoperability, where continuity of intent and data is critical.
This role requires deep collaboration with Engineering and Platform teams. You are expected to bring strong front-end and data-model fluency, enabling you to reason about APIs, state management, performance constraints, and AEC data model aligned data structures as part of experience definition. You will help ensure that experience strategy is grounded in how systems actually work, not just how they appear.
This role addresses problems that span multiple teams and organizations. You will partner closely with senior UX and engineering leadership as well as infrastructure product leaders to frame long-term experience strategy, identify systemic friction, and define experience models that guide execution across teams. You will operate with a high degree of independence and authority, influencing roadmaps, technical decisions, and design direction without direct line management.
As an Experience Architect, you will balance strategic leadership with hands‑on contribution. You will create experience frameworks, models, and reference designs that enable teams to deliver coherent infrastructure workflows, including the responsible integration of AI to support engineering judgment across planning, design, and delivery of transportation projects. Your impact is measured by improved workflow continuity, clearer decision points, reduced systemic friction, and progress against Autodesk’s infrastructure and AI strategy.
