Overview:

As a Product Specialist at GRAITEC, you act as the bridge between customer needs, engineering expertise, and software development, helping shape innovative solutions for the Construction, Structural Engineering, and Simulation Software industry.

You will work closely with Software Developers, QA Engineers, UX Designers, Documentation Specialists, Support Teams, Sales, and customers to ensure product requirements are clearly defined, accurately implemented, and validated against real-world engineering workflows. Your role is to translate complex business and engineering needs into functional software solutions that deliver measurable value to customers.

You will own functional areas of the product lifecycle, from requirements gathering and solution design through validation, release readiness, and customer adoption. A key aspect of the role is ensuring that simulation workflows, engineering calculations, and product functionality align with industry standards, engineering best practices, and customer expectations.

Given GRAITEC's diverse portfolio, this role is ideal for professionals with backgrounds in Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Construction, Architecture, BIM, Simulation Software, or related technology environments.

You will actively contribute to:

• Requirements definition and backlog management
• Workflow analysis and user journey mapping
• Functional validation and acceptance testing
• Simulation and engineering workflow validation
• Release readiness and customer enablement
• Product improvement initiatives driven by customer feedback and market needs

You will also engage directly with customers and industry experts to understand engineering challenges, validate product direction, and identify opportunities for innovation.

As part of GRAITEC's innovation strategy, you will contribute to the adoption of modern technologies and AI-assisted product management practices, including:

• AI-assisted requirement analysis
• Intelligent defect triage
• Product usage analytics
• Functional validation optimization
• Data-driven product decision making

As your seniority grows, your role may evolve from feature ownership to domain leadership, influencing product strategy, roadmap decisions, and cross-product initiatives.
