As part of its new ambition, EssilorLuxottica aims to position itself as an integrated MedTech platform, strengthening its leadership in Vision Health and leveraging the visual system as a source of biological and functional information. This approach supports the development of new products and services dedicated to the prevention, diagnosis, monitoring, and prediction of ocular and systemic diseases, within a personalized, preventive, data-driven paradigm grounded in neuroscience, digital health and artificial intelligence.

Team Description:

In this context, the Neuroscience & Medical Research department designs upstream innovations across several strategic domains for the Group. This work is built on robust scientific validation and transversal innovation initiatives at the interface of biomedical research, digital technologies, and medical devices.

Within the Neuroscience & Medical Research division,  you will join the Brain team and have the opportunity to shape the future of neuroscience-driven development of wearables, cognitive monitoring and optical instruments. You will be embedded into an exceptional team of neuroscientists and engineers at the forefront of vision and neurotechnology research- spanning cognitive science, brain & mental health, and related pathologies. If you are excited to work at the intersection of neuroengineering, bio-sensing, neuroscience, optics,  software engineering and artificial intelligence,  please come on board!

Essential Requirements & Qualifications:
