We are seeking an experienced Real-time Rendering and Visualization Developer/Specialist to join our Digital Solutions Department in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector. The ideal candidate will leverage their expertise in Unreal Engine to develop high-quality, interactive visualizations and virtual experiences, with a strong focus on Digital Twin technologies for the built environment. This role demands a blend of technical skills, creative vision, and a deep understanding of real estate and the built environment.
Key Responsibilities:
Digital Twin Development:
* Create and maintain Digital Twin models of real estate projects, integrating data and visuals for real-time monitoring, simulation, and analysis.
* Collaborate with data specialists and engineers to incorporate IoT and BIM data into Unreal Engine environments.
* Develop interactive dashboards and interfaces for operational insights and decision-making.
Visualization and Rendering:
* Produce photorealistic 3D visualizations, animations, and immersive experiences using Unreal Engine for real estate and architectural projects.
* Develop real-time environments that enhance client presentations and decision-making processes.
Interactive Experience Development:
* Design and implement interactive walkthroughs, virtual showrooms, and VR/AR experiences for residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments.
* Optimize assets and environments for real-time performance without compromising quality.
Collaboration:
* Work closely with architects, engineers, and data scientists to translate 2D/3D models and datasets into Unreal Engine projects.
* Coordinate with marketing and sales teams to deliver visuals tailored to real estate project requirements.
Technical Implementation:
* Develop and integrate complex materials, lighting, and animations to achieve a high level of realism.
* Optimize scenes for various platforms, including desktop, mobile, and VR/AR devices.
Project Management:
* Oversee project pipelines, ensuring deliverables meet quality standards and deadlines.
* Maintain version control and ensure assets are well-organized and documented.
Innovation and Research:
* Stay updated on emerging tools, techniques, and trends in Unreal Engine, Digital Twin technology, and the AEC industry.
* Explore and implement innovative solutions to improve workflows and project outcomes.
Education:
* Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, 3D Design, Game Development, or a related field. Advanced training or certification in Unreal Engine is a plus.
Experience:
* Minimum of 3-5 years of overall professional experience in related fields, including a minimum of 1 year of hands-on experience with Unreal Engine and a minimum of 1 year in the AEC or real estate sectors.
* Proven portfolio showcasing real-time visualization, Digital Twin models, and interactive projects for real estate or architectural applications.
Technical Skills:
* Expert proficiency in Unreal Engine (Blueprints/C++, Level Design, Sequencer, Materials and Shaders).
* Strong understanding of 3D modeling, texturing, and rendering tools (e.g., 3ds Max, Blender, Revit, Rhino).
* Knowledge of Digital Twin frameworks and their integration with Unreal Engine.
* Familiarity with BIM tools like Revit and their integration into Unreal Engine via Datasmith.
* Knowledge of VR/AR development and optimization.
* Familiarity with IoT and data visualization concepts.
* Soft Skills:
* Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
* Excellent communication and collaboration skills with multidisciplinary teams.
* Ability to manage multiple projects and meet tight deadlines.
Preferred Skills:
* Experience integrating IoT data into Digital Twin environments.
* Knowledge of programming languages (e.g., C++ or Python) for custom functionality in Unreal Engine.
* Familiarity with other game development engines such as Unity.
* Familiarity with real-time collaboration tools such as Twinmotion or Datasmith.
* Understanding of the real estate market and project lifecycle.
