BIM Software Developer

Overview

Bim Software Developer

Autodesk Platform Services (Aps)

Key Responsibilities

• **Extract Revit and IFC model data**
• — properties, parameters, type/instance data, and relationships — via APS APIs, without using desktop Revit.
• **Transform model data into analysis-ready formats**
• (e.g.
• Parquet, JSON, CSV) for querying, reporting, and agent consumption.
• **Pull and process derived geometry**
• (SVF/SVF2, or exports such as OBJ/STL/IFC) for downstream analysis and visualization.
• **Build geometry data checks**
• — proximity/clash, bounding-box and volume sanity, missing-element detection, and parameter completeness.
• **Run IFC checks**
• — validate schema conformance, property-set completeness, and geometry integrity on exported/derived models.
• **Build robust ingestion pipelines**
• — manage asynchronous translation jobs, webhooks, retries, and large/heavy models reliably.
• **Map BIM data semantics**
• onto the platform's structured data model, and flag where API coverage gaps limit what can be extracted.
• Collaborate with data, engineering, and AEC domain teams to ensure extracted data reflects real model intent.

Required Skills & Experience

• **Strong backend / data engineering in Python**
• — building reliable extraction and transformation pipelines.
• **Hands-on Autodesk Platform Services (APS)**
• — Model Derivative and Data Management APIs, OAuth, and webhooks.
• **BIM data fluency**
• — IFC schema, Revit property/parameter model, property sets, and classification.
• **Geometry data handling**
• — meshes, transforms, and spatial queries (e.g. trimesh, shapely).
• **Data formats and stores**
• — JSON, Parquet, and analytical/columnar querying.

Preferred (Nice To Have)

• **Revit plugin / Design Automation experience**
• — extracting true
• BREP (boundary representation) geometry
• directly from Revit for granular geometry analysis and clash detection, beyond what Model Derivative exposes.
• **Programmatic federation of Revit models**
• — combining multiple linked / discipline models in code to enable deep cross-model geometry and clash detection.
• **C# / .NET with the Revit API**
• — the language and toolset behind the BREP extraction and federation work above.
• Experience with

Ifcopenshell

• or xBIM for IFC parsing and geometry extraction.
• APS Viewer or three.js for web-based model/geometry visualization.
• Cloud and async infrastructure — containers, queues, object storage.
• DuckDB or similar analytical SQL engines.
• Background in architecture, engineering, or construction.
