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 them 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 the sustainable infrastructure of the future 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 while adapting to evolving global standards for BIM and GIS, such as IFC, 3D Tiles, and Esri i3s.
In this role, you will be the crucial resource in the design and 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.
