This position is posted by Jobgether on behalf of a partner company. We are currently looking for a Design Engineer in Canada.
We are seeking a creative and technically skilled Design Engineer to join a fast-paced, exploratory AI research environment. In this role, you will prototype and implement novel user experiences at the intersection of AI-generated video, world models, and agentic systems. You will collaborate closely with researchers, engineers, and product designers to translate cutting-edge AI research into tangible, interactive tools and experiences. The position offers the freedom to experiment, iterate quickly, and push the boundaries of what is possible in AI-driven creative workflows. Ideal candidates thrive in ambiguous, research-oriented settings, enjoy hands-on problem-solving, and are passionate about designing meaningful interactions with advanced technologies. This role provides a unique opportunity to shape the future of generative AI while working on high-impact, innovative projects.
Accountabilities:
- Prototyping and implementing novel user experiences for AI video, world models, and generative media applications.
- Designing and developing agentic tools and interfaces that allow users to interact with AI systems in real time.
- Exploring new application areas, from simulation and interactive media to research and creative tooling.
- Collaborating with researchers, engineers, and product designers to translate research insights into usable, high-value features.
- Creating internal frameworks and tools to support design and engineering teams.
- Stretching the boundaries of front-end engineering to broaden possibilities in exploratory and experimental contexts.
- Conducting usability testing and iterating on designs to ensure meaningful and intuitive user interactions.
Requirements:
The ideal candidate brings a strong blend of design expertise, technical skills, and curiosity about AI-driven systems:
- Proven experience designing flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity UIs for web or agentic products.
- Hands-on experience building agentic tools or interfaces where AI takes actions, reasons over state, or drives multi-step workflows.
- Strong understanding of visual and interaction design principles, as well as usability testing methodologies.
- Curiosity and familiarity with AI video, world models, agentic engineering, and generative media.
- Ability to work effectively in ambiguous, research-oriented environments where problem spaces are evolving.
- Excellent collaboration and communication skills to work closely with interdisciplinary teams.
- Motivated self-starter with a passion for experimentation, iteration, and delivering high-impact design solutions.
Benefits:
