Project Management Intern – Grant Administration (m/f/d)

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for a motivated Project Management Intern (ideally 6 months, mandatory internship) to join our Robotics team in Schönaich (close to Stuttgart), with a flexible start date. If you're structured, reliable, and curious about how a hardware and software robotics company manages complex multi-party projects - including challenging humanoid robotics customers and publicly funded R&D programmes - this internship gives you hands-on experience that is genuinely rare in industry.

HERE'S WHERE YOU MAKE AN IMPACT

• Maintain project schedules and milestone tracking across multiple simultaneous customer and R&D projects - the structural work that keeps complex parallel workstreams from drifting out of sync

• Support regular progress reporting for customer projects, turning internal status into clear, reliable communication that builds confidence externally

• Assist with grant administration and compliance documentation - the careful, detail-oriented work that keeps a publicly funded project in good standing with its funders

• Coordinate design review and milestone sign-off processes with internal teams and external partners, making sure the right people have the right information before decisions are made

• Support consortium documentation and coordination with research institute partners, prepare monthly Gantt/PM tool exports for both customer and grant reporting

WHO YOU ARE

• Enrolled BSc/MSc student in Industrial Engineering, Engineering Management, or a technical engineering degree with a genuine interest in project management

• Structured, organised, and reliable - in a multi-project environment, deadline management isn't a skill on a CV, it's the foundation

• Fluent written German is essential: grant administration in a German-funded programme requires precision, formality, and zero ambiguity in the language

• Working proficiency in English is equally required - customer project communication happens in English, and clarity matters just as much there as it does in the grant documentation

• Proficient in MS Excel or Google Sheets; experience with Wrike, Odoo, or similar PM tools is a plus and will shorten your ramp-up considerably

• Technical curiosity is genuinely valued here - you don't need to know ROS2, but being interested in what engineers are actually building makes you meaningfully more effective in this role

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

• Flexible working hours when life takes unexpected turns

• Company support for gym memberships through Wellpass

• Birthday vouchers

• Drinks and coffee (free of charge, of course)

• Snacks and fruit for all employees, as well as breakfast every Monday

• Regular global team-building events such as boot camps, skiing, and summer BBQs

• An international team with long-term prospects

• Highly competent colleagues who are experts in their field and happy to support you in your learning and growth

• Modern office space

• Our company's WG (upon availability)
