Unreal Engine Specialist

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.
