Associate Design Engineer

We’re looking for a Design Engineer I who thrives at the intersection of interaction design, front-end engineering, and emerging technologies. You are passionate about collaborating on early-stage ideas and bringing them to life as real, tangible, high-fidelity prototypes, proofs-of-concept, and internal tools that help teams learn faster, make better decisions, and automate manual tasks. In terms of core skill set, you look like a front-end engineer, but you think like a designer. You bring a strong visual and interaction sensibility, paired with pragmatic engineering judgment. You bias toward speed, clarity, and craft, while maintaining a deep respect for usability, performance, and maintainability. You’re eager to learn from senior teammates, building your ability to work independently, and proactively identifying opportunities where prototyping, tooling, or automation can unlock new possibilities. You’re also excited about how AI is reshaping design and product workflows. You don’t just use AI tools—you experiment with them, integrate them into prototypes and pipelines, and explore how generative and assistive AI can meaningfully improve user experiences, internal workflows, and design quality. You’ll be joining a small but mighty Design Engineering team within the Viewing Experience, Product and Design organization at Peacock. Our mission is to bring ideas to life and power innovation. Your primary focus will be helping build high-impact prototypes that explore new features and experiences across the Peacock ecosystem, while also contributing to design tools, Figma plugins, and AI-powered utilities that help our teams work faster, smarter, and with greater confidence. You’ll work on specific features and components, with guidance and support from senior members of the team. What You’ll Do Partner closely with designers, product managers, engineers, and user researchers to build prototypes that support design exploration, usability testing, experimentation, and stakeholder alignment Translate abstract ideas and early concepts into interactive, high-fidelity prototypes for specific features and components across web, mobile, and TV platforms Help design and build internal tools, utilities, and Figma plugins that improve design quality, consistency, speed, and scalability Explore and apply AI-driven approaches to design, prototyping, automation, content exploration, and workflow optimization Integrate live or simulated data into prototypes by building or consuming APIs Improve and evolve initial design concepts through iterative prototyping and feedback Contribute to shared toolkits, frameworks, and codebases that accelerate prototyping across the team Contribute technical and creative ideas to projects, including experimenting with new frameworks, tools, or approaches with guidance from senior team members Stay current with industry trends, emerging interaction patterns, and new technologies, and proactively apply them where they create leverage Continuously look for opportunities to improve how the team prototypes, experiments, and collaborates Regularly present and demo work to the immediate team, seeking feedback and flagging issues early as you grow your craft
