Mechanical Engineering Lead leading design, procurement and commissioning readiness for Fusion Fuel Cycles’ fusion fuel cycle systems in Ottawa. Coordinating vendors, contractors and multidisciplinary engineering teams.
About the role
- Staff Design Engineer defining the design system strategy and AI integrations at Juniper Square. Collaborating across Design, Engineering, and Product to enhance usability and efficiency.
Responsibilities
- Own the design system strategy and roadmap: define what the system needs to become, set priorities, establish governance, and build the contribution model that makes it sustainable as the team and product grow.
- Define the AI enablement strategy for design-to-engineering: determine how AI tools are integrated into the workflow from prototype to production, and build the systems that make the whole team faster and higher-quality.
- Set the technical direction for UI quality across the product: define what good looks like, establish the standards and processes that maintain it, and make the case for that standard across design and engineering leadership.
- Identify systemic quality gaps: look across the product surface and name the patterns no one else is naming, then build the plan to address them.
- Build the infrastructure that lets designers ship in code: not by doing it yourself, but by creating the workflows, tooling, and templates that make it a sustainable part of the design team's practice.
- Partner with Design and Engineering leadership to shape the long-term direction of how the two functions collaborate, where the boundaries are, and how they evolve.
Requirements
- 10+ years of experience working across design and front-end engineering, with a portfolio that demonstrates both craft and leadership impact.
- Proven experience building and scaling design systems: owning the roadmap, governance, and adoption strategy across a product organization, not just contributing components.
- A strong, defensible point of view on what makes a great design system, backed by experience driving adoption across a product organization: not just building it, but getting designers and engineers to actually use it.
- Deep front-end engineering skills (TypeScript, React, CSS) alongside genuine design taste. Comfortable reading and writing production code, but leading through judgment rather than throughput.
- Experience defining technical strategy for design tooling, developer experience, or design-to-engineering workflows.
- Experience thinking through how AI tools change team-level design and engineering workflows, and building systems or processes around that.
- Strong communication and influence skills: can align design leadership, engineering leadership, and product around a shared technical direction without formal authority.
- Fluency with AI-powered coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, v0.dev, or equivalent) as part of your core workflow.
Benefits
- Health, dental, and vision care for you and your family
- Life insurance
- Mental wellness coverage
- Fertility and growing family support
- Flex Time Off in addition to company-paid holidays
- Paid family leave, medical leave, and bereavement leave policies
- Retirement saving plans
- Allowance to customize your work and technology setup at home
- Annual professional development stipend
