What a Design Engineer does
Design engineers at software companies work at the boundary of product design and frontend engineering. They both design and code interfaces, building the prototypes, interactions, animations and design system components that neither a pure designer nor a pure engineer would finish alone. In manufacturing the same title means an engineer who designs physical parts in CAD, a different job.
