THE WHY

To end COPV failure in spaceflight. Every rocket part we build depends on a machine that runs, a facility that functions, and a supply chain that delivers. Infrastructure is not a support function—it is a critical enabler of the mission.

• Own infrastructure operations end-to-end: facilities, hardware, tools, and systems run stably and without unplanned disruption. Gaps don’t wait for someone else.
• Coordinate work within the Infrastructure team: priorities are visible, deadlines are met, and nothing slips without your knowledge and a response.
• Manage vendors, partners, and contracts: you negotiate, maintain, and challenge external relationships. Partners deliver—and when they don’t, you act.
• Be the primary infrastructure contact internally and externally. You give honest, informed answers—not comfortable ones.
• Manage the company fleet: procurement, scheduling, maintenance, compliance—yours.
• Drive infrastructure improvement projects: identify where the company’s infrastructure is falling short, build the case, and execute.

• Ownership mindset — you see what needs doing and hold yourself accountable without being managed.
• Generalist background—experience across facility management, operations, IT infrastructure; end‑to‑end ownership, not just contribution.
• Process builder — you’ve created workflows from scratch; ambiguity energizes you.
• Vendor & contract experience — you’ve negotiated, set expectations, and pushed back.
• Communication — direct, proactive, reliable; stakeholders are never left wondering.
• On‑site presence across Garching and Taufkirchen required.
• German C1–C2 (must have).
• English B2+ (must have).

• Real ownership and visible impact in an aerospace company going to the stars.
• Startup mindset: flat hierarchies, fast decisions, space for your ideas.
• Your choice of benefit:
  Germany ticket, Egym Wellpass, or a tax‑free Give Card.
• Fresh meals and a strong lunch culture.
• Rooftop terrace with Alpine views (Taufkirchen) and indoor garden (Garching).
• Regular team events, tech talks, and after‑work gatherings.
