Senior Front-End Developer(Design)

Overview

PDF Solutions is redefining the way the semiconductor industry approaches data, analytics, and experience design. As part of our journey, we’re building Next gen platform — a modern, human-centered analytics platform. We believe design systems aren’t just about consistency — they’re about scalability, collaboration, and performance.

We’re hiring a Design System Specialist — a seasoned front-end developer with a proven track record of building full, responsive web applications. This isn’t a role for someone who only consumes components — we want a systems thinker who builds for reuse, understands responsive and accessible design, and can take open-source UI frameworks and turn them into tailored, enterprise-grade systems.

You’ll collaborate closely with UX and product teams to implement a seamless bridge between design intent and technical reality — shaping the design foundation that scales across our entire product ecosystem.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain a React + TypeScript component library that aligns with our design language and product needs.
• Translate Figma designs into reusable components that are responsive, accessible, and performant.
• Extend and customize open-source UI libraries (e.g., MUI, Carbon, Chakra, etc.) into a fully branded, proprietary system.
• Collaborate with UX and visual designers to establish design tokens, theming strategies, and layout consistency.
• Create and maintain developer-friendly documentation using tools like Storybook.
• Work with engineers across teams to drive adoption, address gaps, and promote reusability.
• Architect and enforce component standards, folder structure, and versioning strategies.
• Champion accessibility (WCAG compliance) and responsive behaviors from the start.
• Support and troubleshoot issues raised by product teams using the design system components.
  
  

Qualifications

• 6-9 years of professional front-end development experience.
• Deep expertise in React, TypeScript, and modern front-end tooling.
• Proven experience building full-scale web applications, not just component libraries.
• Strong understanding of component reusability, modular design, and performance optimization.
• Solid experience with responsive web development, mobile-first layouts, and breakpoint strategy.
• Ability to customize and extend open-source UI kits into polished, domain-specific component sets.
• Working knowledge of Storybook, Figma integration, and writing documentation for developer usage.
• Familiarity with accessibility best practices, including ARIA roles and keyboard navigation.
  
  

Nice to Have

• Experience with Angular or other major web frameworks.
• Background in micro frontends or modular platform architecture.
• Experience with unit testing, visual regression testing, and design token pipelines.
• Familiarity with enterprise design systems such as Material UI, Carbon, Fluent, or Spectrum.
• Exposure to analytics, manufacturing, or semiconductor software is a bonus.
