CAD & PLM Administration Intern

Here at The Exploration Company, we are building spacecrafts for humanity.

To support our growth, we are looking for a CAD & PLM Administration Intern to join our team in Munich. In this hands-on role, you will help establish and maintain our CAD standard part library, provide first-level support to engineering users, and contribute to the documentation of CAD and PLM processes.

Role overview

As a CAD & PLM Administration Intern, you will work closely with our engineering, CAD, PLM, and IT teams to help keep our design data and product lifecycle processes organised, accessible, and efficient.

Your primary focus will be supporting the creation and continuous improvement of a standard part library for CAD users. You will also act as a first point of contact for basic user requests and help create clear, practical documentation that enables our engineering teams to work effectively in a fast-paced aerospace environment.

This is an excellent opportunity to gain practical experience in CAD data management, PLM administration, engineering processes, and technical support while contributing to the development of a real space vehicle.
