Corning is hiring an Engineer – Imaging & Diagnostics in Corning, NY at Sullivan Park. This is an onsite role working Monday–Friday, 40 hours per week with flexibility as needed, and relocation assistance is provided. The position includes travel up to 50% on average annually depending on project needs, primarily domestic with occasional international travel possible.
For engineers who want more variety, more hands-on problem solving, and more exposure than a typical single-site role can offer, this position provides the opportunity to use imaging, optics, sensors, and custom diagnostic systems to understand how processes behave and why issues occur. The team supports work in both laboratory and manufacturing environments, helping Corning improve processes, troubleshoot problems, and advance new technologies across multiple businesses and stages of innovation. It is a strong fit for someone with a background in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, measurements, instrumentation, imaging, optics, automation, or experimental systems who enjoys building test setups, analyzing data, and turning technical observations into practical solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Design, assemble, deploy, and use custom optical and sensor-based diagnostic systems for investigative work in laboratory and manufacturing environments
Integrate imaging tools with secondary sensors, motion equipment, and flow control systems to support specific investigations
Perform image processing, data analysis, and statistical analysis to interpret results and support process improvement and technology development
Conduct hands-on experimental work in lab, engineering, and manufacturing settings
Support troubleshooting and investigative work either independently or as part of a team to meet business objectives
Communicate project status, findings, and recommendations through clear documentation, reports, and presentations
Maintain laboratory equipment, process equipment, and materials needed for ongoing diagnostic work
Minimum Qualifications and Skills
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and experience with an emphasis on measurements
Experience working with optical hardware such as cameras, lenses, illumination sources, lasers, LEDs, or related optical elements
Experience using optical or imaging equipment for investigative, diagnostic, or troubleshooting purposes
Ability to select and apply optical arrangements for different applications
Experience working in laboratory, experimental, or test environments
Clear written and verbal communication skills, along with the ability to plan work, stay organized, and deliver results on time
Preferred Qualifications and Skills
Experience with MATLAB for image analysis and/or data analysis
Knowledge of light science, including photon scattering or wave-based optics concepts such as refraction and diffraction
Experience with sensors or measurement devices such as pressure transducers or thermocouples
Experience assembling laboratory-scale gas or liquid flow systems, including mass flow controllers and pressure regulators
This position does not support immigration sponsorship.
The range for this position is $69,279.00 - $95,259.00 assuming full time status. Starting pay for the successful applicant is dependent on a variety of job-related factors, including but not limited to geographic location, market demands, experience, training, and education.
