Job Summary :

We are looking for a skilled Unreal Engine Developer to create high-quality 3D terrains and animated environments from real-world map and geospatial data. The role involves converting GIS and map data into visually accurate, interactive, and animated 3D scenes within Unreal Engine for real-time visualization, simulations, and immersive displays.

Key Responsibilities :

- Create realistic and optimized 3D terrains in Unreal Engine using real-world map data

- Convert GIS / DEM / heightmap data into Unreal Engine landscapes

- Add environmental and object animations (camera moves, terrain elements, props, vehicles, simple characters if required)

- Integrate terrain data from sources such as :

- Satellite imagery

- OpenStreetMap

- GIS shapefiles

- LiDAR / DEM data

- Design and optimize landscape materials, textures, and foliage

- Implement level streaming / world partition for large terrains

- Optimize scenes for real-time performance (LOD, culling, lighting, shaders)

- Collaborate with designers and developers to integrate terrain into interactive experiences

- Collaborate with designers and technical artists to integrate animated content

- Debug, profile, and improve performance across different hardware setups

- Maintain clean, well-documented Unreal Engine projects

Required Skills & Qualifications :

- Strong experience with Unreal Engine (UE4 / UE5)

- Expertise in Landscapes, World Partition, and Level Streaming

Solid understanding of :

- Landscapes & World Partition

- Level streaming

- LODs and performance optimization

- Sequencer

- Camera animation & cinematic workflows

Experience creating terrains using :

- Heightmaps

- GIS or map-based data

- Proficiency in Blueprints (C++ is a plus)

- Experience creating real-time animations in Unreal Engine

- Familiarity with Animation Blueprints (basic to intermediate)

- Good knowledge of PBR materials and lighting

- Understanding of animation optimization for real-time performance

Familiarity with importing data from tools like :

- QGIS / ArcGIS

- Blender / Houdini (nice to have)

- Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail

Good to Have (Bonus Skills) :

- Experience with Cesium for Unreal or other geospatial plugins

- Knowledge of procedural terrain generation

- Experience with LiDAR point clouds

- Experience building content for :

- Interactive installations

- Simulations

- Large-format displays or digital twins

- Understanding of real-time data integration
