Product Design Intern

Summary

TRACTIAN combines hardware, software, and AI to help industrial teams detect equipment problems early and prevent costly downtime. The Product Design Intern will take defined user problems from research through interactive prototyping, collaborating with product and engineering partners to test assumptions, refine experiences, and prepare implementable designs.

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

Skills

• 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
• 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
