Key Responsibilities

• Translate architectural models and complex spatial data into real-time, interactive Digital Twin platforms, serving as a link between traditional architecture teams and software/rendering workflows.
• Lead the technical implementation of real-time 3D interactive environments using Unreal Engine or Unity, establishing optimization standards, lighting strategies, and performance benchmarks for live visualization.
• Oversee spatial data architecture, including data ingestion pipelines, storage structures, and query systems (Data Lakes, multi-source spatial databases), ensuring seamless streaming and integration of BIM metadata into runtime environments.
• Manage digital environments comprising millions of component files and multi-layer datasets, driving decision-making around level-of-detail (LOD), file layering, memory management, and rendering optimization.
• Act as a technical advisor to architectural, design, and engineering teams to propose pipeline enhancements, eliminate technical bottlenecks, and mandate best production practices.
• Implement project-specific security protocols, data-access controls, and secure data pipeline practices across connected Digital Twin ecosystems, where applicable.

Candidate Profile
