UI / UX Design Engineer

Piscataway, NJ
Full Time
Product Marketing
Entry Level

We are seeking a detail-oriented Junior UI/UX Design Engineer to help shape the user experience of a complex Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) platform. This role sits at the intersection of design and front-end engineering—ideal for someone who not only designs clean, intuitive interfaces but can also implement them with precision in a real-world application.

You will work on simplifying complex workflows into efficient, low-friction user experiences that minimize clicks, page loads, and cognitive overhead.

Key Responsibilities

  • UI/UX Design for Complex Systems
    • Design intuitive workflows for data-dense and operationally complex interfaces.
    • Translate DCIM concepts (racks, power chains, cooling, network topology) into clear, usable UI patterns.
    • Optimize user journeys to reduce interaction cost (clicks, navigation depth, context switching).
  • Component-Based Design & Implementation
    • Design reusable UI components that serve as building blocks across the application.
    • Ensure components are flexible and context-aware (adapt styling/behavior based on usage context).
    • Contribute to and evolve a consistent design system.
  • Pixel-Perfect Execution
    • Implement UI with high visual fidelity—attention to spacing, alignment, typography, and micro-interactions.
    • Identify and correct inconsistencies (e.g., off-by-one spacing, misaligned elements, visual imbalance).
  • Front-End Development
    • Own, write and maintain CSS (or SCSS/Tailwind/etc.) to support scalable, maintainable UI patterns.
    • Collaborate closely with front-end engineers to integrate designs into a complex codebase.
    • Ensure UI performance remains high even in data-heavy views.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelors of Engineering or Computer Science Degree
  • 1–3 years of experience in UI/UX design and front-end CSS development
  • Strong visual design fundamentals (spacing, layout, typography, hierarchy).
  • Experience designing and implementing reusable UI components.
  • Proficiency in CSS and modern front-end styling approaches.
  • Familiarity with design tools (zeroheight, Figma, Storybook, etc.).

Preferred Qualifications

  • Exposure to data center environments or DCIM concepts.
  • Experience working with complex enterprise or data-heavy applications.
  • Understanding of component-driven frameworks (Angular and AngularJS).
  • Experience with design systems or UI libraries.
