Position Overview

Autodesk is looking for an intern to join a highly collaborative Experience Design team for the summer. Autodesk software is used daily by millions of design and engineering professionals all over the world - who also need to manage their logins and licenses! Help us evolve our platform to meet new business and customer needs by crafting clear, approachable experiences that guide customers easily through these necessary tasks.

The Platform Services and Emerging Technologies (PSET) organization enables Autodesk product teams and Autodesk customers to accelerate outcomes by providing a trusted platform of shared and enabling capabilities. PSET XD teams partner with Product Management and Engineering teams to deliver front end web-based experiences, APIs, services, and infrastructure that our customers and developers use to access, manage, and extend the capabilities of Autodesk's design and make software. The Experience Design (XD) team within PSET includes interaction design, visual design, research, and content strategy.

Responsibilities

• Visualize and prototype intended solutions at various levels of fidelity, from high-level wireframes or mock-ups to conceptual presentations to highly technical documents and diagrams.
• Collaborate closely with one or more local or remote Agile Scrum teams, working iteratively to deliver customer value.
• Use customer insights that come from analytics and customer interactions to help inform business and design decisions.

• Help develop and conduct usability tests and other customer research.
• Run competitive analyses to identify industry best practices or key capabilities related to specific projects.

Minimum Qualifications

• Full-time student, pursuing a BS, MS or PhD in user experience design, human-computer interaction, information science, data science, or a related field.
• You have profound empathy for people and want to create the best experiences, even in apparently mundane tasks.

• You are an enthusiastic collaborator, able to work with people from different disciplines to get the job done.
• You are a systems thinker who is as interested in what is happening behind the screens as in crafting the interaction experience.
• You're excited about digging into the design process alongside other experience designers, researchers, and content strategists, working on real projects while receiving guidance and feedback from senior members of our Experience Design team.

We would especially love to talk with you if you have these qualifications:

• Experience with Figma and/or other current design tools.
• A portfolio of work that demonstrates your user experience design process and skills.
• Hands-on knowledge of qualitative or quantitative research and analysis.
