You could find a large US, British company that has a design studio (eg,. GM, Ford, tech and service companies)... but then you could also just find the right small consultancy where they speak English OK (not that hard)... and you start learning German.

IMHO germans are very good at speaking english, otherwise, how the hell do you think they communicate with others?
I worked myself in Germany during a few months until I left because I couldn't stand on the german language.
Didn't even make the effort. People is the most serious, work-focused people I ever met.
Spanish way I'm more used to...fiesta and siesta all the way!

it also depends where in germany. for instance i wouldn't suggest berlin if you don't speak german. not that they don't speak english in berlin. but there is an overkill in skilled designers, illustrators etc. here in berlin. a lot of them unemployed or just barely making it. so they tend to work with one / employ one with the least barriers. unless you're very experienced and really good at what you do. hamburg and muenchen is a whole different story. but you rather talk to someone from those areas.
