About The Company
Tractian provides asset intelligence solutions that combine hardware sensors and AI software to monitor machine health in real time, so industrial teams can catch failures before they happen, prioritize what matters, and act with confidence. Our approach is built on physical AI: sensors deployed directly on critical assets, feeding AI models trained on data from the largest industrial database available. The result is asset intelligence that goes beyond alerts, telling you what's wrong, why, and what to do next before a failure becomes a breakdown. Trusted by 1,500+ manufacturers across the Americas - including McKesson, Air Liquide, Verizon, Cummins, Ingredion, and Whirlpool - Tractian has returned $304M to customers through earlier failure detection and helped teams avoid 97,631 hours of downtime. Tractian was named to the Forbes AI 50 and ranked #24 Fastest-Growing Company in North America on the Deloitte Technology Fast 500™. A smarter way to monitor, prioritize, and act.

Our technology supports more than 1,200 facilities, with over 100,000 sensors deployed globally. A Y Combinator company, we’ve been recognized on the Forbes AI 50, named a G2 Leader and ranked No. 24 on Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 in North America. We’re building technology that keeps industry running and looking for people who want to help shape what comes next.

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.

What You Will Do
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.

Responsibilities
  • 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.

Requirements
  • 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.

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