设计工程师
Design Engineer
我们通过融合艺术与科学，构建人工智能来模拟世界。
我们认为，世界模型是人工智能进步的前沿。仅靠语言模型无法解决世界上最难的问题——机器人技术、疾病、科学发现。真正的进步需要能够体验世界并从错误中学习的模型，就像人类一样。而这种试错过程在模拟环境中进行时，可以大幅加速，而不是在现实世界中。
世界模型为通用模拟提供了最清晰的路径，改变故事的讲述方式、科学进步的方式以及人类下一个前沿领域的探索方式。
我们的团队由富有创造力、开放思维、有爱心且有抱负的人组成，他们决心改变世界。我们渴望不断创造不可能的事情，而我们实现这一目标的能力依赖于打造一支卓越的团队。如果你也有同样的动力，我们很期待收到你的消息。
### **关于该职位**
我们正在寻找一位充满热情的设计工程师加入Runway Labs——这个推动AI视频和通用世界模型前沿的研究与探索团队。这个职位并非专注于Runway的核心消费者产品；相反，你将置身于一个快速发展的实验室环境中，工作具有探索性、实验性和技术性。
该候选人应是一个有动力的自主工作者，有与工程和研究团队紧密合作以快速原型设计和发布产品的经验。你将探索AI生成视频、世界模型和代理系统的新界面和交互范式，帮助将最前沿的研究转化为可操作的用户体验。
该职位需要设计技能和专业技术能力的结合，以及对这两方面的真正热情。作为一个小团队的一员，你将与研究人员、工程师和产品设计师合作，开发概念原型，设计高价值的交互功能，并构建新的创意和研究工作流程的工具。
### **你将负责**
- 在AI视频、世界模型和新兴生成媒体的交汇点上，原型设计和实现创新的用户体验
- 设计和构建代理工具和界面，使研究人员和创作者能够实时与AI系统互动并进行指导
- 探索AI视频和通用世界模型的新应用领域——从模拟和互动媒体到研究工具
- 将前端工程的极限推向更远

We are building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science.
We believe that world models are at the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone won’t solve the world’s hardest problems – robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world.
World models offer the most clear path to general-purpose simulation, changing how stories are told, how scientific progress is made and how the next frontiers of humanity are reached.
Our team consists of creative, open minded, caring and ambitious people who are determined to change the world. We aspire to continuously build impossible things and our ability to do so relies on building an incredible team. If you are driven to do the same, we'd love to hear from you.
### **About the role**
We are looking for a passionate Design Engineer to join Runway Labs — our research and exploration team pushing the frontier of AI video and General World Models. This is not a role focused on Runway core consumer products; instead, you’ll be embedded in a fast-moving lab environment where the work is exploratory, experimental, and technical.
This candidate should be a motivated self-starter with experience working closely with engineering and research teams to rapidly prototype and ship. You'll explore new interfaces and interaction paradigms for AI generated video, world models, and agentic systems helping translate cutting-edge research into tangible, usable experiences.
This role requires a blend of design skills and technical expertise, along with a genuine passion for both. As part of a small team, you’ll collaborate with researchers, engineers, and product designers to develop concept prototypes, design high-value interactive features, and build tools that enable new creative and research workflows.
### **What you’ll do**
- Prototype and implement novel user experiences at the intersection of AI video, world models, and emerging generative media
- Design and build agentic tools and interfaces that allow researchers and creatives to interact with and direct AI systems in real time
- Explore new application areas for AI video and general world models — from simulation and interactive media to research tooling
- Stretch the limits of front-end engineering to broaden what’s possible in research and experimentation contexts
- Create internal tools and frameworks used across design and engineering teams at Runway Labs
- Work alongside researchers, engineers, and product designers to shape how we think about the future of AI-driven creativity
### **What you’ll need**
- Genuine curiosity about AI video, world models, agentic engineering and generative media and an intuition for how to design meaningful interactions with these systems
- Experience designing flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity UIs for web and agentic products
- Experience building agentic tools or interfaces — i.e., systems where AI takes actions, reasons over state, or drives multi-step workflows
- Strong understanding of visual and interaction design, as well as usability testing
- Comfort working in ambiguous, research oriented environments where the problem space is still being defined
- Strong understanding of visual and interaction design, as well as usability testing.
Runway strives to recruit and retain exceptional talent from diverse backgrounds while ensuring pay equity for our team. Our salary ranges are based on competitive market rates for our size, stage and industry, and salary is just one part of the overall compensation package we provide.
There are many factors that go into salary determinations, including relevant experience, skill level and qualifications assessed during the interview process, and maintaining internal equity with peers on the team. The range shared below is a general expectation for the function as posted, but we are also open to considering candidates who may be more or less experienced than outlined in the job description. In this case, we will communicate any updates in the expected salary range.
Lastly, the provided range is the expected salary for candidates in the U.S. Outside of those regions, there may be a change in the range, which again, will be communicated to candidates.
#### **Working at Runway**
[**Great things come from great teams.**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwmj4ato2kw&ab_channel=Runway) **We’d love to hear from you.**
We’re committed to creating a space where our employees can bring their full selves to work and have equal opportunity to succeed. So regardless of race, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, origin, ability, age, veteran status, if joining this mission speaks to you, we encourage you to apply.
