Product Designer Intern: Strategic Student Program

We are Siemens

Siemens Digital Industries Software is a leading provider of solutions for the design, simulation, and manufacture of products across many different industries. White goods, motor vehicles, airplanes, ships, space exploration vehicles, and many of the products we see in our daily lives are being conceived, designed, and manufactured using our Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) software.

The customer experience team is a multi-disciplinary team formed of Product Designers and User Researchers.

What we’re looking for

Are you a recent graduate or postgraduate looking to start your career as a product designer with a focus on enterprise software applications? Are you ready to help change the perception that enterprise applications are not user-friendly, complicated to learn, and hard to master?

Your degree should contain a high level of product design content, and you should have an exceptional interest in looking beyond what people say and explore what they actually do. We are looking for a naturally curious person who goes above and beyond to represent the needs of our users in our solutions. This role offers a fantastic opportunity for you to develop the skills for a career as a product designer and provides you the chance to work directly with a committed team on high-impact projects in an exciting and varied environment.

If this sounds like your dream role, then please take a moment to meet some of our current interns who share their thoughts on working as an intern at Siemens. If you can picture yourself learning, growing, and succeeding in our team, then we would love to hear from you!

What you’ll be doing

During this 12-month internship, you will work in small, agile teams tasked with the design and definition of our flagship CAD software. You will closely work alongside User Researchers and development staff, with your work solely focusing on the product design process. You will be reporting to the Product Design lead.

What you’ll bring

• This job is primarily remote (applicant must be located in the UK), but will include some travel (e.g., roughly every 6 weeks a two-day meet up - travel and accommodation will be paid by the company unless you are locally based).
