UX ENGINEER

INTRODUCTION

A user experience engineer (UX engineer) is a hybrid role that combines the skills of a user experience designer (UX designer) and a front-end developer. UX engineers use their knowledge of both design and development to create user interfaces (UIs) that are usable and visually appealing.


UX engineers typically work on the front end of web and mobile applications, where they are responsible for the look, feel, and functionality of the UI. They work closely with UX designers to create wireframes, prototypes, and mockups, and they also work with front-end developers to implement the UI in code.


In addition to their technical skills, UX engineers also need to have strong communication and collaboration skills. They need to be able to understand the needs of users and translate those needs into technical requirements. They also need to be able to work effectively with UX designers, front-end developers, and other stakeholders.


The job outlook for UX engineers is very positive. The demand for UX engineers is expected to grow much faster than average in the coming years, as more and more businesses in Malaysia focus on creating user-friendly products and services.

Optimal UX design can lead to a 90% decrease in the costs associated with support. - UX Matters (Apr, 2021)

Seventy-six per cent of consumers get frustrated when companies don’t deliver personalised experiences. - McKinsey (Nov, 2021)
