Apprenticeship as a Technical Product Designer
Specialization: Machine and Plant Design (m/f/d)
What do technical product designers do?
As a technical product designer, you are the creative link between an idea and the finished product. You work closely with engineers and design specialists to turn initial concepts into precise 3D models. Using modern CAD software, you create technical drawings and support products from the concept phase through to series production.
Typical content and tasks during the apprenticeship:
- Working with 3D CAD systems
- Creating technical drawings for manufacturing and assembly
- Basic mechanical training in the workshop
- Applying drawing and material standards, tables, and design guidelines
- Processing drawing revisions
- Performing calculations and developing new designs
From day one, you’ll be actively involved — with real tasks, exciting projects, and room for your own ideas. Supported by experienced colleagues, you’ll grow professionally and personally, step by step, into your career.
Experience makes the master.
“Getting started is often the hardest part – and that’s exactly why we trainers are here for you. Don’t be afraid to ask questions!
Those who stay curious and keep asking move forward faster – and gain valuable experience for life.”
– Vadim Schlegel, Trainer
