Outrigo is an advanced engineering company dedicated to delivering virtual and physical solutions for vehicle development that drive innovation by pushing the boundaries of technology and engineering.

We are looking for a forward-thinking Software Developer to join our advanced engineering team and lead the development of next-generation structural methods for FEM applications. This is a key position in a growing R&D team working at the intersection of computational design, simulation and digital manufacturing.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in numerical methods, computational geometry and software development. You will work closely with structural engineers, CAE specialists, and manufacturing experts to create a software platform that drives innovation in lightweight, high-performance component design.

All applicants must be eligible to work in Spain.

Responsibilities / What you will do

• Design, develop and maintain software tools for next generation structural design.

• Implement algorithms for structural optimisation, shape generation, and lattice structures.

• Integrate FEA solvers, CAD/mesh tools, and manufacturing constraints into the next-gen design workflow.

• Collaborate with domain experts to translate physical and engineering requirements into robust computational solutions.

• Build intuitive user interfaces and/or scripting APIs for engineering users.

• Conduct performance profiling and ensure software reliability and scalability.

• Stay up to date with the latest research and best practices in optimisation, simulation and digital manufacturing.

• Write clean, well-documented code and contribute to version control and CI/CD pipelines.

Experience / Who you are

• Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Applied Mathematics or related field.

• Strong experience in software development using Python, C++, or similar languages.

• Experience with scientific computing libraries (NumPy, SciPy, Eigen, etc.) and optimisation frameworks.

• Knowledge of topology optimisation algorithms (SIMP, level-set, gradient-based methods, etc.).

• Familiarity with FEA solvers (e.g. Abaqus, Ansys, OpenFOAM, CalculiX) and mesh processing tools.

• Desirable: experience with 3D geometry, CAD kernels (OpenCASCADE, Parasolid), or GPU programming.

• Strong problem-solving skills, creativity, and attention to detail.

• Able to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary R&D environment.

What we offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package based on experience.

• Long-term role with opportunities for technical and professional development.

• Involvement in exciting, high-performance programmes across multiple industries.

• Access to state-of-the-art tools and engineering facilities.

• Supportive and dynamic team culture, with strong emphasis on innovation and continuous improvement.
