Senior Software Engineer, AEC Integration

Job Description

Overview

AEC firms and infrastructure owner/operators increasingly demand seamless integration between GIS data and BIM models to improve all aspects of asset design, construction, and operation. The global demand for housing and the need for roads, energy, and water to support it requires innovative workflows that help owners, engineers, planners, and stakeholders collaborate. Esri is working in partnership with Autodesk and other firms to help our customers design, build, and operate this infrastructure more rapidly, at lower cost, and in compliance with complex regulatory landscapes.

Providing this integration requires innovative software engineering to ensure reliable, secure, seamless, and scalable access to this information in ways that are user- and industry-focused based on evolving global standards for BIM and GIS such as building smart and evolving GeoBIM standards.

In this role, you will be the primary technical resource in the implementation of this integration. Help define the future of GIS-AEC integration in collaboration with the product owner, product engineers, and software engineering peers on a multi-disciplinary team.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement integrations between ArcGIS desktop, web, and mobile platforms and cloud-based BIM systems such as Autodesk Forge and Autodesk BIM360
