Product Design at Tractian At Tractian, we design products that make complex industrial technology easier to use. Our designers learn how customers work and turn those insights into concepts they can prototype, test and improve. Working closely with engineers, they refine how our products look and function so industrial teams can understand equipment problems and take action.

Take a defined user problem from research to an interactive prototype. Work with product and engineering partners to test assumptions, refine the experience and prepare designs that can be implemented.

• Support interviews or usability studies and translate findings into clear user needs and design priorities.
• Create task flows, wireframes and Figma prototypes that explore and communicate potential solutions.
• Test and refine interaction details, including accessibility, information hierarchy and error states.
• Document design decisions and handoffs, then review implementation with engineers against the intended experience.

• Pursuing or recently completed a degree in Product Design, Industrial Design, Interaction Design, HCI or a related discipline.
• A portfolio showing your personal contribution, problem-solving process and how research or testing influenced the result.
• Proficiency in Figma and interactive prototyping, with strong attention to visual and interaction design.
• Ability to explain tradeoffs, collaborate within technical constraints and respond thoughtfully to feedback.

Helpful Experience Experience with user research, usability testing, design systems or technical products. Physical-product and wearable projects are relevant when they demonstrate strong research and considered user interactions.

Experience connecting user evidence to product decisions, with design feedback and engineering collaboration throughout a scoped project.
