Position: Physicist / Physical Engineer for Optical Integration | Smart Eyewear LAB
START DATE: January 2025
The Smart Eyewear LAB The 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 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.
Envision your future job in the LAB By joining EssilorLuxottica and the Smart Eyewear Lab, you'll have the opportunity to live first-hand an immersive experience in technology, innovation, and the future. 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 / physical engineer for the development of innovative augmented reality solutions to be applied on future smart glasses. As a physicist / physical engineer in this project, you will work closely with the research teams from Politecnico di Milano and EssilorLuxottica, dealing with new challenges to develop innovative solutions for embedding AR solutions on spectacles.
Your tasks and responsibilities State 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.Optical device prototyping: Design optical set-up for augmented reality environment through simulation software and proof-of-concept (POCs) realization.Testing protocols and data analysis: Test and validate POCs through ad-hoc defined protocols and analyze data.Optical integration and industrialization: Integrate optical system into eyewear and define industrialization methods.Portrait of a perfect candidate The ideal candidate is a physicist / physical engineer 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 their own contribution in the development of complex and highly innovative solutions.
Minimum Qualifications: Educational Background in Physics, Physical Engineering, Optics (Master Degree).Maximum 1-2 years of experience in R&D position after Master Degree.Experience in literature analysis and scouting of innovative approaches.Experience in data exploration and results presentation.Experience in optical design.Basic knowledge of augmented reality technologies, in particular computer-generated holography.Basic knowledge in optical device prototyping, testing, and validation.Experience in languages such as Matlab, Python, or C++.Experience in optical simulation software such as Ansys Zemax, Ansys Lumerical, Ansys SPEOS.Fluent English.
