An experienced Unreal Engine consultant is required to support the modernization of a real-time simulator visualization platform. The assignment focuses on replacing an existing visualization environment with Unreal Engine 5 to create a modern high-performance and maintainable rendering solution.

The simulator receives real-time simulation data from an external physics engine via UDP communication. This data must be processed and visualized within Unreal Engine across a synchronized multi-screen environment consisting of 16 displays.

The consultant will work closely with the existing simulation team providing hands-on development architectural guidance performance optimization and knowledge transfer.

• Design and implement a real-time rendering architecture using Unreal Engine 5.
• Integrate Unreal Engine with external simulation systems through UDP communication.
• Receive process and visualize runtime simulation data including:
  • Position and orientation
  • Velocity data
  • Environmental information
  • Object states
• Optimize rendering performance for a 16-screen simulator environment.
• Implement and support synchronized multi-display solutions such as nDisplay.
• Analyze and improve:
  • Frame timing
  • Latency
  • Synchronization
  • Overall rendering performance
• Define robust architectures connecting external simulation data with:
  • Actors
  • Components
  • Subsystems
  • Blueprints
• Advise on project structure runtime data flow asset organization and maintainability.
• Develop tools and automation for:
  • Simulation integration
  • Debugging
  • Configuration management
• Optimize Unreal Engine systems including:
  • Actor and component structures
  • World Subsystems
  • Blueprints and C integration
  • Materials and rendering settings
  • Level streaming and World Partition
  • Multi-display rendering environments
• Produce technical documentation and provide knowledge transfer to internal teams.

• Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience with Unreal Engine.
• Strong experience with Unreal Engine 5.
• Experience developing Unreal plugins and modules.

• Minimum 5 years of professional C development experience.
• Minimum 5 years of experience in software architecture and system design.

• Experience with multi-screen and multi-view rendering environments.
• Experience with synchronized display technologies such as nDisplay.
• Experience integrating Unreal Engine with external simulation or physics systems.
• Experience working in environments where external systems drive the simulation logic and Unreal Engine provides visualization.

• Experience with:
  • CPU and GPU optimization
  • Frame pacing
  • Latency reduction
  • Timing optimization
  • Performance tuning

• Fluent English.
• Dutch language proficiency at CEFR C2 level.

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Engineering Computer Science Information Technology or a related technical field.
• Equivalent professional experience may be considered.

• Knowledge of UDP/TCP networking and real-time data feeds.
• Experience with multithreading and low-level optimization.
• Knowledge of Unreal profiling and debugging tools.
• Experience troubleshooting rendering issues such as:
  • Tearing
  • Jitter
  • Drift
• Experience with dynamic asset loading and asset management.
• Experience with data modeling and transformation.
• Experience integrating external data pipelines.
• Experience with:
  • Visual Studio
  • Jira
  • BitBucket
  • SVN

The ideal consultant has extensive experience with Unreal Engine 5 real-time simulation environments rendering optimization and multi-display visualization systems. Experience integrating external physics or simulation engines and delivering high-performance visualization solutions is highly desirable.
