Join us in redefining the boundaries of what’s possible.The Smart Eyewear LAB, a pioneering project in heart of MilanThe EssilorLuxottica Smart Eyewear LAB is the first joint research centre ever between EssilorLuxottica and Politecnico di Milano aimed at designing the smart‑glasses of the future, a new generation of wearables which are capable of autonomous network connection. It is a pioneering project that will enable the development of new technologies and services using a widely used interface such as eyewear.The EssilorLuxottica Smart Eyewear Lab in Milan will work as part of the EssilorLuxottica Group’s R&D platform, which is already operating globally. The EssilorLuxottica Smart Eyewear Lab will initially last five years and will employ over 100 enthusiastic and talented researchers and scientists working closely together in a dedicated space within the Innovation District in Milan.Your RoleBy joining EssilorLuxottica and EssilorLuxottica Smart Eyewear Lab you’ll have the opportunity to live first‑hand an immersive experience in technology, innovation and the future. As a plus, you’ll work in a passion‑driven and diverse environment made up of international and various stakeholders.In this context, we are looking for a highly motivated physicist/optical engineer for the development of innovative augmented reality solutions to be applied on future smart glasses. As a physicist/optical engineer in this project, you will work closely with the research teams from Politecnico di Milano and EssilorLuxottica, in an international context, deal with new challenges to develop innovative solutions for embedding AR solutions on spectacles.In particular, the physicist/optical engineer will be included in the optical integration research stream of the Smart Eyewear Lab.Main ResponsibilitiesState of the art analysis. Identify relevant previous studies on a specific topic, select the most relevant approaches by comparing them and implement the proposed solutions.Nano‑optics fabrication. Define fabrication protocols for the fabrication of nano‑optics materials in clean roomTesting protocols and data analysis. Test and validate nano‑optics devices through ad‑hoc defined protocols and analyze dataSupervising. Supervise junior staff members and PhD studentsOptical integration and industrialization. Integrate nano‑optics materials into eyewear and define industrialization methods.Main RequirementsThe ideal candidate is a physicist/material scientist with research and development skills, interested in the world of smart eyewear devices, capable of developing innovative solutions independently but at the same time working in a team with heterogeneous skills, bringing his own contribution in the development of complex and highly innovative solutions. In particular, the candidate should demonstrate the ability to design and prototype nano‑optical devices for AR applications and proof solid experience in clean room facility management. Knowledge of photonics, nano‑photonics and programming are also essential skills.PhD in Physics, Material Science, Physical engineering, PhotonicsAt least 5 years of experience in R&D position/process engineer in relevant industry after PhDExperience in literature analysis and scouting of innovative approachesProficiency in data exploration and results presentationSolid experience in nanophotonics material fabrication, prototyping and testingSolid experience in management of clean room equipment for nanofabrication (PECVD, sputtering, RIE, EBL, NIL, etc)Experience in languages such as Matlab, Python or C++Basic knowledge of optical simulation software such as Ansys Zemax, Ansys Lumerical, Comsol multiphysicsBasic knowledge of electronic systems and sensors, embedded system and firmware developmentFluent EnglishIf you are selected, you will be contacted by HR Department to guide you through the specific steps for your application.Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion commitmentWe are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. We celebrate diversity and provide equal opportunities to all, regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic that makes us unique.#J-18808-Ljbffr
