Digital Human Experience Designer

Job Title: Digital Human Experience Designer — AI Characters & Virtual Humans (1 Position)About the JobWe are seeking a creative, user-centered, and interdisciplinary Digital Human Experience Designer to design meaningful, believable, and engaging experiences involving AI-powered digital humans, virtual humans, and interactive digital characters.The successful candidate will focus on how people perceive, communicate with, and emotionally engage with digital humans across interactive environments, conversational systems, immersive experiences, and real-time applications.

The role combines experience design, interaction design, character development, storytelling, psychology, artificial intelligence, and real-time digital technologies.This is a hands-on role working closely with AI specialists, character designers, animators, developers, writers, narrative designers, performance specialists, and technical artists to transform digital characters from visual assets into coherent, responsive, and engaging human-like experiences.ResponsibilitiesDesign end-to-end user experiences involving AI characters, digital humans, virtual humans, and interactive avatars.Define how users discover, approach, communicate with, and build relationships with digital humans.Develop interaction concepts that make digital humans feel understandable, responsive, believable, and emotionally engaging.Translate user needs, scenarios, and experience goals into character interaction flows, behavioral models, and experience concepts.Design conversational, visual, emotional, and behavioral interaction patterns for digital humans.Define how a digital human should respond to different user behaviors, emotions, intentions, questions, and interaction contexts.Develop user journeys, interaction flows, experience maps, scenarios, and prototypes for digital human experiences.Collaborate with character designers and narrative teams to ensure that personality, appearance, communication style, behavior, and interaction are consistent.Work with AI specialists to integrate conversational AI, generative AI, memory, personality systems, AI agents, and behavioral intelligence into user experiences.Design experiences that connect dialogue, facial expressions, eye movement, gestures, body language, voice, movement, and environmental behavior.Collaborate with animation, performance capture, and technical teams to translate experience requirements into believable digital character performances.Define interaction principles for different emotional states, social situations, relationships, and narrative contexts.Design how digital humans initiate, maintain, redirect, and conclude interactions with users.Explore methods for creating natural turn-taking, conversational pacing, emotional responsiveness, social presence, and continuity.Develop interaction scenarios for different levels of user engagement, from simple assistance and information exchange to long-term character relationships and immersive storytelling.Identify potential points of confusion, unnatural behavior, emotional mismatch, or loss of user trust and propose improvements.Conduct user testing and observational studies to evaluate how people understand, interpret, and respond to digital humans.Analyze user feedback and interaction data to improve usability, engagement, emotional connection, and overall experience quality.Develop experience guidelines and design standards for digital human behavior, interaction, communication, and presentation.Work with UX/UI designers to ensure that digital humans are effectively integrated into broader digital interfaces and interactive environments.Collaborate with writers, directors, psychologists, AI trainers, developers, animators, and performers to create coherent multimodal experiences.Prototype new digital human experiences using storyboards, interaction flows, dialogue prototypes, real-time environments, or other appropriate tools.Explore emerging technologies in AI, virtual humans, real-time 3D, conversational interfaces, immersive media, digital identity, and human-AI interaction.Document design decisions, interaction principles, user insights, testing results, and reusable experience frameworks.Help establish scalable methodologies for designing high-quality experiences across multiple digital humans, characters, applications, and environments.QualificationsMinimum BA/MA in Interaction Design, UX Design, Human-Computer Interaction, Psychology, Cognitive Science, Digital Media, Game Design, Narrative Design, Animation, Artificial Intelligence, Communication Design, or a related field; equivalent professional experience will also be considered.At least 3–5 years of experience in UX, interaction design, experience design, digital characters, conversational systems, games, immersive media, interactive storytelling, or a related field.Demonstrable experience designing user-centered interactive experiences rather than only visual interfaces.Strong understanding of human behavior, communication, emotion, social interaction, and user experience principles.Familiarity with AI-powered interfaces, conversational AI, large language models, AI agents, generative AI, or intelligent interactive systems.Strong understanding of character personality, narrative structure, dialogue, behavioral consistency, and emotional interaction.Experience designing user journeys, interaction flows, scenarios, experience maps, prototypes, or behavioral systems.Ability to think across multiple interaction modalities, including text, voice, facial expression, body language, gesture, movement, and visual presence.Familiarity with digital humans, virtual humans, avatars, AI characters, virtual production, real-time 3D, or immersive environments is highly desirable.Experience with tools such as Figma, FigJam, Miro, Unreal Engine, Unity, or comparable experience-design and real-time development tools.Understanding of animation, motion capture, facial performance, voice interaction, or real-time character systems is an advantage.Ability to translate complex technical capabilities into simple, intuitive, and meaningful user experiences.Strong analytical, conceptual, and problem-solving skills with excellent attention to detail.Ability to conduct or interpret user research, usability testing, qualitative feedback, and interaction observations.Excellent communication and collaboration skills, particularly in multidisciplinary environments.Ability to work effectively with AI specialists, developers, designers, writers, animators, artists, performers, and researchers.Curiosity about emerging technologies and a strong interest in the future of human-AI interaction and digital presence.Portfolio demonstrating relevant UX, interaction, experience design, AI, digital character, immersive, game, or interactive projects.Fluency in English; additional languages are an asset.What We OfferThe opportunity to design the experience layer of next-generation AI-powered digital humans and virtual characters.A highly interdisciplinary environment combining artificial intelligence, UX, psychology, storytelling, animation, performance, real-time 3D, and immersive technologies.The opportunity to develop new approaches to human-AI interaction, digital presence, personality, social interaction, and virtual identity.Close collaboration with specialists across AI, character design, narrative, animation, performance, software, and interactive technologies.The opportunity to experiment with emerging technologies and develop new models of digital human experience.The ability to influence how people communicate, connect, interact, and build relationships with intelligent digital characters.Professional growth through research, prototyping, experimentation, user testing, and participation in innovative digital human projects.How to ApplyPlease submit the following to farhang@parsikia.ir with subject line “Digital Human Experience Designer — AI Characters & Virtual Humans”:1.CV (max 2 pages)2.Cover letter (1 page) describing your relevant experience and why you are interested in designing experiences for AI-powered digital humans and virtual characters.3.Portfolio or links to 3 relevant projects (PDF or URL)4.Two references (name, role, contact)Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview and asked to complete a brief practical experience-design exercise involving the concept, user journey, interaction flow, and behavioral experience of a digital human.We welcome applications from candidates with diverse backgrounds and encourage cross-disciplinary practitioners who combine UX, psychology, AI, storytelling, interaction design, animation, game design, performance, or immersive technologies to apply.
