Fundamental Research Labs

About The Role

Fundamental Research Labs is looking for a Design Engineer to bridge the gap between design and engineering. In this role, you’ll help shape our design system implementation, architect front-end solutions, and ensure seamless user experiences across our products. You'll play a foundational role in shaping how we communicate our vision to build digital humans.

What You'll Do

  • Architect and implement complex UI components and systems that balance aesthetics with technical performance

  • Collaborate closely with engineers to bring designs to life with pixel-perfect precision
  • Establish best practices for front-end development and component architecture
  • Mentor engineers on design principles and implementation techniques
  • Develop tools and processes to improve design-to-development workflow
  • Contribute to design reviews with a focus on technical feasibility and implementation
  • Champion accessible, responsive, and performant user interfaces

About You

  • Strong experience in front-end development with a strong design sensibility
  • Designs in Figma (we believe traditional design systems slow us down)
  • Expert-level knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript/TypeScript
  • Deep experience with modern front-end frameworks (React preferred)
  • Strong understanding of design systems and component-based architecture
  • Experience implementing complex UI animations and interactions
  • Proven ability to translate design concepts into production-ready code
  • Strong communication skills to effectively collaborate with both design and engineering teams
  • Experience with accessibility standards and best practices

Logistics

  • We are open to sponsoring International candidates (e.g STEM OPT, OPT, H1B, O1, E3)
  • 401(k) Program
  • Health, Dental, Vision and Life Insurance
  • Support for those moving to the Bay Area
  • Unlimited PTO

What We Offer

  • Work alongside world class researchers and engineers
  • Make your mark; this is a new team at the frontier AI research
  • Impact on a product that will change the entertainment industry
  • Interact daily with some of the most important entertainment brands

What we're looking for:

  • Portfolio showcasing your UI/UX design skills (Bonus points if it is a live project you've coded)
