About the role

About

AWS Infrastructure Services owns the design, planning, delivery, and operation of all AWS global infrastructure. We support all AWS data centers and all of the servers, storage, networking, power, and cooling equipment that ensure our customers have continual access to the innovation they rely on. We work on the most challenging problems, with thousands of variables impacting the supply chain.

You’ll join a diverse team of software, hardware, and network engineers, supply chain specialists, security experts, operations managers, and other vital roles. You’ll collaborate with people across AWS to deliver the highest standards for safety and security while providing seemingly infinite capacity at the lowest possible cost for our customers. You’ll experience an inclusive culture that welcomes bold ideas and empowers you to own them to completion.

The AWS Data Center Design Engineering - BIM & AI Technologies team seeks a talented and passionate Senior UX Designer to revolutionize the AECO industry through innovative BIM and Generative AI technologies. This role impacts strategy and design direction for AI-native product experiences serving architects, engineers, construction managers, and facility operators designing, building, and operating Amazon's global data center facilities.

You will work collaboratively with your design team, product managers, engineers, applied scientists, and domain experts to build future-forward experiences leveraging agentic AI capabilities. Your role is to identify opportunities and resolve gaps in product strategy, creating a connected ecosystem where AI agents, desktop tools, and cloud platforms work seamlessly to accelerate facility design.

AECO professionals require AI systems that support rather than replace professional engineering judgment within regulatory compliance and design accuracy. You approach AI as a system that must be intentionally designed, tested, and governed.

You have an "anything is possible" mindset, thrive on uncovering deep customer insights, and enjoy being part of a collaborative, high-energy team. You're proud of your work and skills but open to cross-functional input to be part of something impactful.

Key job responsibilities

  • Lead design initiatives for revolutionary GenAI applications accelerating data center facility design workflows, focusing on AI agent behavior as a core UX artifact for AECO applications
  • Craft and validate long-term design strategies through customer research, prototyping, and proposals advocating for AECO professionals using BIM technologies
  • Design interconnected product experiences across desktop and cloud products, ensuring seamless integration between first-party software, third-party platforms, and AI agents supporting diverse AECO use cases with human-in-the-loop workflows
  • Define AI agent personas and behavioral contracts articulating roles, responsibilities, boundaries, and escalation behavior, emphasizing design accuracy, code compliance, and confidence levels with 2D/3D geometries and digital twins
  • Partner with cross-functional teams to innovate and create solutions accelerating facility design while ensuring AI-assisted experiences remain transparent, trustworthy, and grounded in engineering needs
  • Leverage existing design systems while innovating with domain-specific patterns and technical visualizations, accelerating design delivery through rapid prototyping and AI-assisted design tools demonstrating complex workflows
  • Ensure AI agents assist users by providing design guidance, code-compliant recommendations, and data synthesis without taking ownership of critical engineering or construction decisions requiring professional judgment and regulatory compliance
