Unreal Engine Developer for Photoreal Real-Time AI Avatar (Zoom Integration)

**Responsibilities** We’re developing a photoreal, real-time human avatar that can join Zoom meetings and interact naturally through speech and facial expression. Our conversational AI system already handles dialogue and voice generation — now we need a Unreal Engine 5 expert to bring that voice to life as a realistic digital human. You’ll create a MetaHuman-based avatar and integrate it with our real-time audio feed, producing a lifelike, responsive character that can appear as a live video participant in Zoom. The goal is a production-quality, human-looking avatar that speaks, blinks, listens, and emotes naturally in real time. **Qualifications** - Build and optimize Unreal Engine 5 scenes using MetaHuman characters for real-time rendering. - Integrate NVIDIA Audio2Face (or similar) to achieve real-time lip-sync driven by live audio input. - Implement expressions, eye movements, and idle animations for natural realism. - Output the rendered video feed into a virtual camera (OBS, FFmpeg, v4l2loopback) for use in Zoom. - Collaborate with our backend developer handling the Zoom Meeting SDK integration and AI voice pipeline. - Create configurable avatar presets (appearance, wardrobe, lighting, and background). - Optimize the entire pipeline for low latency (<400ms) and high visual fidelity.
