Job Summary
Senior Unreal Engine Rendering & Simulation Integration Consultant
Location: On-site with partial remote work possible (Belgium)
Start Date: September 2026
Contract Duration: Until December 2026
Workload: Full-time (approximately 400 hours)
Seniority Level: Senior
Role Overview
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.
Key Responsibilities
- 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.

- Equivalent professional experience may be considered.
Nice-to-Have Skills
- 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
Ideal Candidate
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.
