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.
