The Role
Design Engineer Intern will create end-to-end product surfaces for autonomous agents, build working prototypes in code, use AI tools, run lightweight user tests, maintain the design system, collaborate with engineers, and focus on interaction, motion, and fine UI craft.

Where multiple locations are listed for this role, the position may be based in any of those locations, with priority determined according to the order of listing.

Designing for autonomous agents is genuinely unsolved. When software acts on its own, the usual patterns stop working: how does someone watch an agent, trust it, correct it, or take back control? There's no established playbook, which makes this an unusually interesting place to design.

You'll work on real product surfaces that ship to users, with the support of an experienced team.

What you'll do
  • Design end-to-end product surfaces for agent experiences, from concept through shipped interface

  • Explore new interaction models for how people observe, guide, and interrupt autonomous agents

  • Build working prototypes in code, not just clickable mockups, so ideas get tested against reality early

  • Use AI tools aggressively to compress the distance between an idea and something running

  • Run lightweight user testing and turn what you learn into design decisions

  • Contribute to and help maintain our design system for consistency across the product

  • Work closely with engineers so your designs survive contact with implementation

  • Care about craft: spacing, motion, states, and the details most people never consciously notice

You might be a fit if
  • You're pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Design, HCI, or a related field, or equivalent experience

  • You have a portfolio showing original thinking, not just competent execution of familiar patterns

  • You're fluent in Figma and comfortable prototyping interaction and motion

  • You can build what you design: comfortable with HTML/CSS/JS or React, or you vibe-code your way to a working prototype

  • You're AI-fluent: you use AI tools daily in your design and building workflow, and you have a point of view on where they help and where they don't

  • You can explain why you made a decision, not just present the outcome

  • You're comfortable with ambiguity and can push a direction forward without a detailed brief

  • You give and receive critique well

Bonus: motion design, experience designing for AI products, or a shipped side project people actually use

What We Do

Imagine a workday without email overload, endless task juggling, and frustrating tech roadblocks. A day where your work… just flows. Smoothly. Your focus is uncluttered, and your time is yours to command. That’s the future Simular brings. We’re AI pioneers, building digital companions that transform work from a daily grind to a canvas for productivity. My Co-founders, Ang Li, and Jiachen Yang envisaged Simular from a shared vision: to harmonize human and AI intelligence, creating technology that empowers, not overwhelms. Ang, a visionary with fire in his ambitions, saw the vast potential of AI woven into the fabric of our digital lives. Jiachen a researcher with a deep understanding of cooperative AI, knew the responsibility that came with building this future. Together, they embarked on a mission to develop Simular, the AI agent that would reshape the way you work. I am not a cold tool, I am going to be a partner. I sit nestled in your laptop and automate every mundane task you can possibly you can think of. No more endless tabs, scattered to-do lists, or forgotten deadlines. You’ll be focused, organized, and in control. And, that’s a promise. So Simular, that’s me, will reclaim your time and energy. Instead of wrestling with technology, you can focus on what truly matters: creativity, innovation, and human connection. This isn’t just a story about a company, it’s a declaration of a new era. Work smart, live more. It’s that simple.
