Fujitsu Canada has an exciting opportunity for an experienced Design Engineer to join our dynamic digital transformation team.

The Design Engineer is a hands-on role that owns the user experience of a product from research through shipped interface. The role combines user research, interaction and visual design, front-end engineering, and AI-assisted delivery so that what is designed is what gets built.

The role replaces the traditional hand-off between a UX designer and a front-end developer. The Design Engineer works directly in the codebase and the design system, produces working prototypes and production-quality UI, and validates decisions with real users through usability testing and heuristic evaluation.

The Design Engineer makea sure product features are desirable, usable, feasible and consistent, and that human-centred design principles are met in the delivered product rather than only in the design file.

Scope & Accountability

• Owns the end-to-end user experience for a defined product, value stream or business capability within a large and complex transformation program.
• Owns the design system, design tokens and component library for that scope, and keeps design and code in sync as a single source of truth.
• Conducts and interprets user research, heuristic evaluations and usability testing, and brings the evidence into product decisions.
• Designs and builds interfaces: from concept and interactive prototype through production-ready front-end code submitted as pull requests.
• Uses AI tooling across research, prototyping and code generation, and remains accountable for the quality, consistency and accessibility of everything shipped.
• Sets and upholds the experience and design principles the product must meet, including accessibility standards applicable to the client.
• Provides feasibility input to the Product Team Lead so that features are designed to be buildable within the platform, architecture and capacity available.
• Drives continuous improvement in design practice, design-to-build flow and the usability of released capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

User research and discovery: Plan and run interviews, contextual inquiry, surveys and usability tests with clients and employees; synthesize findings into pain points, journey maps and design requirements that shape the backlog.

Heuristic evaluation and usability: Assess existing and proposed interfaces against recognised usability heuristics and accessibility standards; recommend and prioritise fixes with the Product Team Lead.

Interaction and visual design: Design flows, screens and states that are consistent, accessible and appropriate to the user’s context; apply and extend the product’s experience and design principles.

Prototyping: Build interactive, code-based prototypes early so that stakeholders and users evaluate working behaviour, not static pictures; use prototypes as the primary design deliverable where appropriate.

Front-end build: Implement UI in the product’s front-end stack as production-quality code; raise pull requests, respond to engineering review, and review UI changes from other developers for design fidelity.

Design system stewardship: Own design tokens, components, patterns and documentation; keep the coded component library and any design-tool library aligned so that AI tooling and developers generate consistent output.

AI-assisted delivery: Use AI tools for research synthesis, competitor analysis, variant generation and code generation; set the design context (tokens, system, guidelines) that makes AI output usable; polish, verify and approve what AI produces before it ships.

Feasibility and trade-offs: Advise the Product Team Lead and architects on what is buildable, at what cost and with what experience trade-offs, so unfeasible features are caught in discovery rather than delivery.

Feature definition: Contribute to epics, features, user stories and acceptance criteria, especially the experience and accessibility acceptance criteria, and confirm delivered features meet them.

Agile delivery: Participate in planning events, backlog refinement, demos and retrospectives; deliver design and front-end work within the product increment cadence.

Adoption and measurement: Instrument and monitor experience metrics (task success, time on task, error rates, satisfaction, accessibility conformance) and use the results to guide the next iteration.

Capability building: Raise the design and front-end craft of the wider team through pairing, reviews, shared patterns and documented ways of working with AI.

Qualifications & Experience

Required

• 5+ years in product design, UX design, front-end engineering or a combined design-engineering role on enterprise or digital products.
• 3+ years shipping production front-end code (HTML, CSS, TypeScript/JavaScript and at least one modern framework such as React, Angular or Vue) as part of a cross-functional delivery team, including raising and reviewing pull requests.
• Demonstrated experience planning and running user research and usability testing, and applying heuristic evaluation to real products, with examples of decisions the evidence changed.
• Demonstrated experience building or maintaining a design system: tokens, components, patterns and documentation, kept in sync between design tooling and code.
• Demonstrated, current use of AI tools in design and front-end work (research synthesis, prototyping, code generation), including a clear account of how output is validated and where AI is not relied on.
• Working knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA or later) and of the Government of Canada Standard on Web Accessibility, or equivalent public-sector accessibility obligations.
• Experience working in Agile or scaled Agile delivery (planning events, refinement, demos, retrospectives) within a large program.
• A portfolio showing the reasoning behind design decisions, not only the visuals, with at least one example the candidate both designed and built.
• Strong communication and facilitation skills with business, technical and executive audiences.
• Bachelor’s degree in design, human-computer interaction, computer science, engineering or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

Preferred

• Experience on Enterprise Management System, ERP, CRM, case-management or comparable large-scale solutions serving 5,000+ users.
• Experience designing for AI-enabled features (conversational interfaces, recommendations, agent-driven workflows) and for the trust, transparency and control they require.
• Experience with Government of Canada design standards (GC Design System, Canada.ca Content and Information Architecture Specification) or another public-sector design system.
• Service design, journey mapping or content design experience.
• Certification in human-centred design, accessibility (IAAP CPACC/WAS), SAFe or Scrum.
• Bilingual (English/French) is an asset.
