Reality Capture Engineer information

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Reality Capture Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Reality Capture Engineer, you need expertise in surveying, 3D modeling, and data processing, often supported by a degree in engineering, geomatics, or a related field. Proficiency in technical tools such as laser scanners, photogrammetry software, and BIM platforms, along with certifications like Autodesk or Leica, is typically required. Strong attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and effective communication skills help ensure accurate data collection and successful project delivery. These skills and qualities are crucial for producing precise digital representations of real-world environments that support design, construction, and facility management.

How does a Reality Capture Engineer typically collaborate with other teams on construction or design projects?

Reality Capture Engineers often work closely with architects, surveyors, and project managers to ensure accurate site data collection and integration. They are responsible for coordinating the capture and processing of 3D scans, drone imagery, or photogrammetry data, and translating these into usable models or point clouds for design and analysis. Regular communication and updates with cross-functional teams help identify project needs, resolve data discrepancies, and support decision-making throughout the project lifecycle. This collaborative approach ensures that the digital representations align with project goals and that any changes in the physical environment are accurately reflected in project documentation.

What are Reality Capture Engineers?

Reality Capture Engineers are professionals who specialize in using advanced technologies such as 3D laser scanning, photogrammetry, and drones to create accurate digital representations of real-world environments. Their work involves capturing physical spaces or objects and converting them into detailed digital models for use in construction, architecture, engineering, and other industries. These models help improve planning, design, and maintenance by providing precise, up-to-date information about existing conditions.

Job description

Who are we hiring?

Reality Capture Lead is responsible for the capturing and processing of photogrammetry, gaussian splats, lidar scans, prop scanner(s), and drone photogrammetry aerial imaging for multiple downstream uses. The Reality Capture Lead will work in studio and travel to capture locations. The role requires ability to give clear concise direction to other photogrammetry technicians on shoots and clearly communicate with stake holders on location managing expectations. Reality Capture Lead will also perform in field QC of data before returning from location.

Sphere Studios is a hybrid new format that requires a careful integration of cinematography engineering, technology, and standard production practices as well a healthy perspective on the future of entertainment. This role will mean creating new tools and integrate existing ones to capture and deliver on the unique value that Sphere promises. 

What will you do?

  • Support pre production visualization, production shoots, digital twin efforts, scan library and additional scanning requirements throughout the studio
  • Rapid gaussian splat capture and processing of locations on scouts.
  • Photogrammetry capture of environments, vehicles, and props large and small
  • LiDAR and prop scanner capture of locations and various assets
  • Operate and support drones for aerial lidar and photogrammetry capture
  • Operate other scanners such as laser line, structured light and photometric stereo based on the need
  • Work closely with the Photogrammetry Processing Lead to ensure data integrity and fidelity meets Sphere's unique imaging requirements
  • Monitor, research and develop emerging and new technologies as they relate to capture gear, techniques and post processes for use in our immersive interactive venues.
  • Overall data organization and scan processing for handoff to other departments
  • Manage photogrammetry technicians in field to ensure highest quality efficient captures
  • Ensure proper use and maintenance of equipment is performed by photogrammetry field team
  • Stay on top of new technology, workflows, and software within the 3D data acquisition industry
  • Document workflows and captures for archival and training purposes
  • Work closely with data wranglers to maintain continuity between set notes and captures.
  • Metadata wrangling on as needed basis.
  • Provide exceptional experiences for our guests, partners, and team members, including by adhering to our appearance and presentation guidelines while on-site.  

What do you need to succeed?

  • Bachelor degree in relevant field or equivalent experience
