What is a point cloud?

A Point Cloud job involves working with 3D data representations of physical spaces, typically generated from LiDAR scans or photogrammetry. Professionals in this field process, analyze, and manipulate point cloud datasets for applications in construction, engineering, surveying, and mapping. They use specialized software to clean, classify, and convert raw point cloud data into useful models or visualizations. This role often requires expertise in 3D modeling, GIS, or CAD software, along with a strong understanding of spatial data.

What are the typical daily responsibilities of a point cloud specialist?

As a Point Cloud Specialist, your daily tasks often include processing and analyzing raw 3D data from LiDAR or photogrammetry sources, cleaning and aligning point clouds, and converting them into usable models or maps. You’ll collaborate closely with surveyors, engineers, or architects to ensure your data meets project requirements and integrates smoothly with other digital assets. Attention to quality control and detail is important, as your deliverables often form the foundation for design, construction, or spatial analysis work. In addition, you might be tasked with troubleshooting data inconsistencies or optimizing workflows to improve efficiency and accuracy.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the point cloud position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Point Cloud Specialist, you need a strong foundation in 3D spatial data processing, knowledge of surveying principles, and experience with geospatial software, often supported by a degree in geomatics or a related field. Familiarity with tools such as LiDAR scanners, point cloud processing software (like Autodesk ReCap or CloudCompare), and CAD/GIS systems is essential. Attention to detail, analytical problem-solving, and effective communication are key soft skills for success in this role. These competencies are crucial for producing accurate and actionable 3D models that support engineering, construction, or mapping projects.

Job description

FieldAI is transforming how robots interact with the real world. We are building risk‑aware, reliable, and field‑ready AI systems that address the most complex challenges in robotics, unlocking the full potential of embodied intelligence. We go beyond typical data‑driven approaches or pure transformer‑based architectures, and are charting a new course, with already‑globally‑deployed solutions delivering real‑world results and rapidly improving models through real‑field applications.

We are looking for a BIM/VDC Engineer who can work at the intersection of BIM modeling, point cloud data, construction documentation, and process automation. This role is ideal for someone who has hands‑on experience creating and reviewing BIM models from point clouds, understands construction drawings and site conditions, and is excited about improving workflows through automation.

You will be responsible for checking BIM models created by our teams, ensuring they are accurate against point cloud data, identifying deviations or modeling issues, and helping build scalable processes to make BIM QA/QC faster, more consistent, and more automated.

What You Will Get To Do BIM Model Review & Quality Control
  • Review BIM models created from point clouds and validate them against source data.
  • Check model accuracy, completeness, geometry quality, classification, naming, and level of detail.
  • Identify missing, misaligned, duplicated, or incorrectly modeled elements.
  • Compare BIM models against point clouds, drawings, and site documentation.
  • Prepare QA/QC reports with actionable feedback for modelers.
  • Ensure models follow project‑specific BIM standards, modeling guidelines, and delivery requirements.
Point Cloud to BIM Workflows
  • Work with point cloud data from LiDAR scans, 360 captures, or reality capture systems.
  • Understand scan registration quality, point cloud density, alignment issues, and data gaps.
  • Support workflows for converting existing site conditions into clean BIM models.
Automation & Process Improvement
  • Identify repetitive BIM tasks that can be automated.
  • Support the development of scripts, tools, templates, checklists, and workflows to improve efficiency.Work with product, engineering, and operations teams to translate manual BIM processes into automated or semi‑automated workflows.
  • Help create rule‑based checks for model validation, including naming, categorization, element properties, geometry issues.
What You Have
  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil/Structural Engineering or Architecture
  • 3+ years of experience in BIM modeling, BIM coordination, or scan‑to‑BIM workflows.
  • Strong experience with Revit and BIM
  • Experience working with point clouds and validating BIM models against reality capture data.
  • Good understanding of construction drawings, building elements, levels, grids, MEP/structural/architectural coordination, and site documentation.
  • Experience with BIM standards, LOD requirements, naming conventions, parameters, and model organization.
  • Experience with scan‑to‑BIM delivery for commercial, industrial, infrastructure, or large construction projects.
  • Experience with tools such as Navisworks, Recap, CloudCompare, Cyclone, Autodesk Construction Cloud or BIM 360.
What Will Set You Apart
  • Experience creating automation scripts for BIM workflows using Dynamo, Python, Revit API, or similar tools.
  • Familiarity with IFC, COBie, BIM data standards, or construction asset classification systems.
  • Experience with tools such as Rhino, Grasshopper, or Blender.
Be Part of the Next Robotics Revolution
