Principal Human-AI UX Technologist

Shape The Future of UX at Hilti

Hilti is a global leader in technologies, software, and services for the professional construction industry. Guided by our purpose, "Making Construction Better," we combine deep customer relationships with sustained investment in innovation to make work more productive, safer, and more sustainable.

We are looking for a Principal Human-AI Experience Architect to shape how engineers and construction professionals collaborate with AI across Hilti's software portfolio. Based in the Technology Office, you will define the experience architecture, reusable patterns, and technical standards that turn AI from an isolated feature into a trusted participant in complete professional workflows. Your scope will include PROFIS Engineering and PROFIS MSE, Hilti mobile applications, and shared capabilities delivered through the Technology Services Platform.

This is a principal-level individual-contributor role for someone who combines human-centered systems thinking with technical depth. You will work across UX, product, software engineering, architecture, cybersecurity, and responsible AI to redesign complex workflows-not simply add chat interfaces to existing products. You will help users understand AI-generated recommendations, inspect evidence and assumptions, remain in control of important decisions, and move seamlessly between desktop, web, and mobile experiences.

What You'll Bring

• This position is not eligible for employer-sponsored work authorization or visa sponsorship (including initial, transfer, or extension), and candidates must be authorized to work in the United States at the time of application and remain authorized for the duration of employment without the need for sponsorship.
• Extensive experience in UX engineering, experience architecture, human-computer interaction, frontend or platform architecture, conversational AI, or a related field.
• Demonstrated success designing and prototyping AI-enabled experiences that connect user needs with production technology.
• Strong knowledge of modern frontend architecture, design systems, APIs, cloud platforms, telemetry, accessibility, and software delivery.
• Working knowledge of agentic AI, including tool use, orchestration, context and memory, autonomy boundaries, evaluation, and human-in-the-loop controls.
• Ability to turn ambiguous strategic questions into clear principles, prototypes, reference patterns, and implementation guidance.
• Strong communication and influencing skills across product, design, engineering, architecture, security, and business stakeholders.
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, human-computer interaction, design technology, software engineering, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience with engineering software, CAD/BIM, construction technology, industrial software, enterprise AI agents, or other safety-relevant professional workflows is highly valued. More important than an exact previous title is evidence that you have simplified complex work, built technically credible prototypes, created reusable capabilities, and helped multiple teams adopt them.
