About Pangea Propulsion:
We are a company dedicated to developing advanced propulsion systems for the space industry based on three key principles: high efficiency, sustainability, and reusability. We are revolutionizing the space industry with ground-breaking innovations that allow us to offer the best performance to cost propulsion systems.
Our goal is to be the propulsion provider for the next generation of spacecraft, which is essential to meet demands and compete in the booming space market of the next decade.
We are a passionate, multicultural, and multidisciplinary team pushing the boundaries of what is possible in space propulsion technology.
We have already made history by successfully testing the world's first 3D-printed Methalox Aerospike engine, marking a significant milestone for the space industry.
We are looking for talented professionals to join our international teams in Barcelona and Toulouse. We want to be a key player in improving diversity in the Aerospace sector as, in Pangea, we believe that diversity (gender, age, race, sexual orientation, beliefs, disability, culture, etc.) is a key to success. Within Pangea, everyone can grow with the same opportunities. We encourage you to apply. Individually we are different, but together we are an amazing team!
We are looking for a Mechanical Design & PLM Intern for a 6-month internship in Barcelona.
About the role:
We are seeking a Mechanical or Industrial Engineering Intern to join our Mechanical Engineering Team. The successful candidate will help establish and maintain reusable design libraries in Siemens NX, support product data and lifecycle management activities, and design jigs and tooling for the assembly and integration of propulsion systems.
Key Responsibilities:
· Support the setup, structuring, and maintenance of reusable design libraries in Siemens NX, including standard parts, features, templates, and company design practices.
Ø Help define naming conventions, metadata, classification, revision rules, and documentation for reusable NX content.
Ø Assist with validation and deployment of library components in collaboration with design engineers and other users.
· Support PLM activities, including part creation, document management, bills of materials, configuration control, and engineering change workflows.
· Design jigs, fixtures, and tooling for the assembly and integration of propulsion-system components and turbomachinery.
· Produce 3D models, manufacturing drawings, and technical documentation for tooling and reusable library content.
· Development of concepts models, detail 3D/2D designs and technical documentation from initial requirements through manufacturing release.
· Coordinate with mechanical design, manufacturing, assembly, and integration teams to capture requirements and improve engineering workflows for integration, transportation, and testing activities.
· Support design reviews, tooling validation, and implementation on the shop floor.
What you need to be successful:
· Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field.
· Eligible and available to complete an internship as part of, or alongside, your studies.
· Foundational knowledge of mechanical design, manufacturing processes, tolerancing, and technical drawings.
· Experience with 3D CAD; knowledge of Siemens NX is strongly preferred.
· Interest in reusable CAD libraries, design standardization, product data management, and PLM workflows.
· Ability to translate assembly and integration needs into practical jig and fixture concepts.
· Fluency in English, both written and spoken.
Soft Skills:
· Methodical, organized, and detail-oriented approach.
· Hands-on mindset and interest in assembly and integration activities.
· Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to learn.
· Clear technical communication and documentation skills.
· Ability to collaborate in a multicultural, multidisciplinary environment.
· Proactive attitude and ownership of assigned tasks.
Other useful skills:
· Previous academic or project experience with Siemens NX, Teamcenter, or another PLM/PDM platform.
· Knowledge of CAD standardization, reusable components, parametric modelling, or design templates.
· Experience designing jigs, fixtures, assembly aids, or manufacturing tooling.
· Understanding of machining, additive manufacturing, sheet-metal fabrication, and common workshop processes.
· Basic knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
· Experience with scripting or automation for engineering applications is a plus.
· Spanish or French language skills are a plus.
