Infrastructure Specialist (all genders)

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

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. 

THE WHAT 
You own a domain, not a to-do list. Every machine, vendor contract, process gap, fleet vehicle, and hardware decision: yours. You identify what's broken, design the fix, and see it through. 

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

YOUR PROFILE

• Ownership mindset — you see what needs doing and hold yourself accountable without being managed
• Generalist background — experience across, facility management, or operations, IT infrastructure; end-to-end ownership, not just contribution
• Process builder — you've created workflows from scratch; ambiguity energises 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)

WHAT WE OFFER

• 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
