# Design Engineer Intern at Simular

- **Company:** Simular
- **Location:** Singapore
- **Employment:** internship
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-07-29
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-09-08
- **Apply:** https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/simular/3c53a046-4fc0-4b67-9295-1912abf16262

## Job description

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

- **Headquarters**: Palo Alto, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Ang Li (Co-Founder & CEO); other co-founders from DeepMind and Google backgrounds

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Artificial Intelligence / Autonomous Agents
- **Target customers**: B2B enterprises (initially insurance, healthcare, and other industries with heavy form‑filling) and knowledge workers who need automation of computer‑based tasks.
- **Mission statement**: “We believe humans shouldn't be bound to computers. AI should free us from devices so we can live a better, more human life.” [simular.ai](https://www.simular.ai/)

## Products & Services
- **[Sai](https://www.simular.ai/)**: An always‑on, cloud‑based AI agent that uses a computer just like a human – clicking, typing, operating GUIs, and also using APIs, terminals, and writing code. It runs on a private, isolated virtual desktop and includes guardrails for safety.
- **[Simular Pro](https://www.cbinsights.com/company/simular)**: A more advanced agent platform built on SimuLang (a custom DSL on JavaScript) that delivers production‑grade, repeatable multi‑step automation across thousands of steps. Designed for high‑reliability enterprise workflows.
- **Research‑driven foundation**: The company releases open‑source benchmarks and models, consistently topping industry benchmarks like OSWorld (72.6% success), WebVoyager (90.1%), and AndroidWorld (71.6%) across browsers, computers, and smartphones. [simular.ai](https://www.simular.ai/)

- **Open‑source ecosystem**: Publishes research and models, building community trust and accelerating adoption.

## Strategic Focus
- **Short‑term**: Scale the enterprise customer base, starting with industries like insurance and healthcare that have high volumes of form processing. [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/simular-ai)
- **Long‑term**: Achieve AGI by building increasingly autonomous computer agents that free humans from repetitive screen work. The company’s roadmap is “step toward truly autonomous computers” that operate across all digital environments. [simular.ai](https://www.simular.ai/about)

## Why Work Here
- **Impact**: Join a small, elite team of 20 people (mostly technical) who are building the next generation of AI agents. Employees have backgrounds from DeepMind, Google, TikTok, and top universities.
- **Culture**: Described as a “research‑driven” environment where scientific rigor meets real‑world product engineering. The team values autonomy and ownership – “we’re a small group of scientists and engineers from DeepMind, Google, and top AI labs.” [simular.ai](https://www.simular.ai/about)
- **Remote / Hybrid**: Offices in Palo Alto, Singapore, Germany, and Canada. The description of “private, cloud‑based virtual desktop” suggests a remote‑friendly culture, though specific workplace policy is not stated.
