Outrigo is an industrial deep-tech company building Morph, an intelligence-driven platform that unifies computational design, simulation, metal additive manufacturing (LPBF) and automated assembly into a single traceable workflow. We develop high-performance hardware for the space, aerospace, defence and mobility sectors, pushing the boundaries of what can be designed and manufactured. We are seeking a highly qualified Software Engineer, holding a PhD, to accelerate the development of Morph in three strategic areas: LLM-based agentic engineering workflows, knowledge-based engineering (KBE) models, and the digital thread from CAD to metal additive manufacturing. Working directly with the CTO and alongside our in-house software team, the successful candidate will build the intelligence that turns engineering requirements into validated designs and ready-to-print build files, with high ownership and a direct line from code to hardware. All applicants must be eligible to work in Spain. Responsibilities / What You Will Do
• Design and build LLM-based agentic workflows that parse engineering requirements, plan design and manufacturing operations, and orchestrate deterministic engineering tools through tool use, structured outputs, sub-agents and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
• Develop evaluation, verification and guardrail frameworks for agents, ensuring that every AI-generated decision is traceable, checked against engineering rules and safe to execute in high-consequence hardware programmes.
• Implement knowledge-based engineering (KBE) models that capture design rules, product architectures and best practice as executable, parametric code, using typed rule engines and data schemas (e.g. Pydantic).
• Formalise Outrigo’s design-for-additive-manufacturing (DfAM) knowledge into automated manufacturability checks: overhangs, minimum wall and channel sizes, powder removal, distortion risk and post-processing access.
• Build the digital thread from CAD to the LPBF machine: automate build preparation steps such as part orientation, support generation,



nesting, slicing and build file creation, integrating Materialise Magics (automation/SDK and Build Processors) or equivalent build preparation tools.
• Connect build preparation with machine and process data to feed the Morph Process Library, linking design, build parameters, inspection and test results so that knowledge compounds with every build.
• Integrate agents and KBE models with Morph’s geometry engines (OpenCascade/pythonocc, PicoGK) and existing simulation workflows, working closely with the in-house software developer and engineering teams.
• Software engineering best practices (version control, code review, automated testing, CI/CD, Docker and documentation) and use AI coding assistants to maximise development speed.
• Prepare technical documentation and presentations, and contribute to R&D; grant proposals, publications and intellectual property.
• Adhere to Health and Safety legislation and uphold Outrigo’s workplace standards to create a safe and productive work environment. Experience / Who You Are
• PhD in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Computational or Mechanical/Aerospace Engineering, or a closely related field, with doctoral research involving substantial software development (essential).
• At least 3 years of industrial or post-doctoral experience developing engineering, CAD/CAM or AI software.
• Expert proficiency in Python, with a track record of shipping maintainable, well-tested code.
• Proven hands-on experience building applications with large language models (e.g. Anthropic or OpenAI APIs), including agentic loops, tool use, retrieval, structured outputs and systematic evaluation.




• Experience implementing knowledge-based engineering, design automation or rule-based systems (e.g. parametric CAD automation, ontologies, constraint or rule engines).
• Good understanding of CAD data and geometry (B-Rep, meshes, STEP, STL, 3MF) and of the additive manufacturing process chain.
• Desirable hands-on experience with Materialise Magics, its automation/SDK or Build Processors, or other AM build preparation software (e.g. Netfabb, Siemens NX AM, Oqton).
• Desirable experience with metal additive manufacturing (LPBF), including support strategies, process parameters and machine data.
• Desirable experience with CAD kernels (OpenCascade or similar), implicit/voxel modelling (PicoGK, OpenVDB) or generative design.
• Desirable experience in C++ or C#, and with MCP servers or multi-agent frameworks.
• Contributions to open-source projects and/or peer-reviewed publications are a plus.
• Fluent English.
• Strong analytical and problem solving skills.
• Excellent team-worker, who is agile, proactive, and has a "startup" attitude.
• Track record demonstrating creativity and ingenuity.

What We Offer
• Competitive salary commensurate with your skills, experience, and contribution to the development of the Morph platform.
• The opportunity to shape the AI and knowledge layer of an intelligence-driven engineering and manufacturing platform from an early stage.
• Direct link between code and hardware: see the parts your software designs and prepares being printed in our in-house metal additive manufacturing (LPBF) facility.
• Involvement in high-impact programmes across the space, aerospace, defence and mobility sectors.
• Professional development and growth opportunities, including support for conferences, publications and open-source work.
• Potential for international travel.
• Access to a range of benefits that support your well-being, including private medical insurance.
