Build the Future with Corning
At Corning, innovation starts with the people who turn ideas into reality. We are seeking a skilled Machinist to join our Sullivan Park Research & Development team, where you will help fabricate prototype parts, tools, and equipment that support cutting-edge technology development.
This is not a high-volume production role. This is R&D machining in a highly innovative environment, where precision, creativity, and problem-solving come together to support new technologies and breakthrough ideas.
If you take pride in building complex, high-quality parts and enjoy working on unique projects, this is an opportunity to do meaningful work with advanced equipment in a world-class development setting.
What You’ll Do:
Fabricate and assemble prototype parts and equipment for research and development projects.
Set up and operate a variety of CNC and manual machines, including:
CNC Lathes.
3-axis and 5-axis CNC Mills.
Wire EDM.
Surface Grinders.
Drill Presses.
Manual Lathes.
Manual Mills.
Straight Vertical Milling Machines.
Write, edit, and modify machine programs to meet design specifications and quality standards.
Read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, and technical specifications.
Inspect finished parts using precision measuring equipment.
Troubleshoot machining and process issues.
Perform routine maintenance on machines and equipment.
Work closely with designs, ideas, and prototype concepts to bring new technology to life.
What We’re Looking For
Required:
High School Diploma or GED.
One of the following:
4 years of applicable machine shop experience or military equivalent.
Journeyman or Class “A” status.
2-year Machine Tool Technology degree.
Certificate in a relevant field with at least 1 year of experience.
Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
Strong attention to detail, craftsmanship, and problem-solving ability.
Preferred:
Experience with Mastercam, SolidWorks, or NC programming software.
5-axis machining experience.
Experience with Haas, Mazak, Fanuc, or similar controls.
If you have strong machining fundamentals but do not have 5-axis or programming experience, we still encourage you to apply. We are willing to train the right candidate.
Why This Role Stands Out:
Work in Research & Development, not repetitive production.
Support cutting-edge technology and prototype development.
Use advanced tooling and equipment.
Join a highly skilled team in an innovative, collaborative environment.
Gain opportunities for training and skill development.
Build parts and equipment that help shape the future of technology.
Additional Job Information:
2nd shift: 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM.
720 hour working probationary period.
Production and Maintenance employees are represented by USW Local 1000.
A basic demonstration of skills is required.
Compensation & Benefits:
Starting pay: $38.09/hour.
Top pay: $40.65/hour.
Compensation and benefits are provided in accordance with the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement.
Hiring Process:
The hiring process begins when you submit a completed application and resume.
Qualified candidates will be asked to complete an onsite interview and hands-on testing.
The final stage includes background checks, a physical assessment, and drug testing.
This position does not support immigration sponsorship.
