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 seeking a highly motivated Materials Engineer to join our team in Spain. This is a permanent position offering the opportunity to work at the forefront of materials innovation. The successful candidate will play a key role in the development, testing and optimisation of materials with a focus on enhancing physical and mechanical properties for demanding engineering applications.

You will be part of a multidisciplinary team developing lightweight, high-performance structures from concept through to production. This role offers long-term career growth and the opportunity to shape the structural integrity and safety of innovative vehicle platforms.

All applicants must be eligible to work in Spain.

Responsibilities / What You Will Do

• Lead and support the development of new materials for additive manufacturing, with emphasis on metals and advanced alloys.
• Characterise and optimise material physical properties (e.g., strength, ductility, fatigue, thermal performance, corrosion resistance).
• Conduct experimental testing and analysis of powders, feedstocks and printed materials.
• Collaborate with process engineers and design teams to ensure material performance aligns with end-use applications.
• Develop and maintain material databases, test standards and qualification processes for AM materials.
• Support R&D projects, contributing to technical reports, publications and presentations.
• Stay current with emerging materials, technologies and industry standards in AM and related manufacturing methods.
  
  

Experience / Who You Are

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Materials Science, Metallurgy, or related field.
• Proven experience in materials development for additive manufacturing (e.g., powder metallurgy, laser powder bed fusion, binder jetting, or similar).
• Strong background in physical property characterisation (mechanical, thermal, microstructural analysis).
• Hands-on experience with materials testing techniques (tensile, hardness, fatigue, microscopy, spectroscopy).
• Ability to design and execute experiments, interpret data and draw actionable conclusions.
• Proficiency in technical reporting and ability to communicate results to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Knowledge of design for additive manufacturing (DfAM) and process–material interactions.
• Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) or simulation tools for materials behaviour.
• Experience with quality systems and materials qualification frameworks (e.g., aerospace or automotive standards).
  
  

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.
• Access to a range of benefits that support your well-being, including private medical insurance.
