Company: Corning

Requisition Number: 75835

The company built on breakthroughs.
Join us.

Corning is one of the world’s leading innovators in glass, ceramic, and materials science. From the depths of the ocean to the farthest reaches of space, our technologies push the boundaries of what’s possible.

How do we do this? With our people. They break through limitations and expectations – not once in a career, but every day. They help move our company, and the world, forward.

At Corning, there are endless possibilities for making an impact. You can help connect the unconnected, drive the future of automobiles, transform at-home entertainment, and ensure the delivery of lifesaving medicines. And so much more.

Come break through with us.

Our Optical Communications segment has recently evolved from being a manufacturer of optical fiber and cable, hardware and equipment to being a comprehensive provider of industry-leading optical solutions across the broader communications industry.This segment is classified into two main product groupings – carrier network and enterprise network. The carrier network product group consists primarily of products and solutions for optical-based communications infrastructure for services such as video, data and voice communications. The enterprise network product group consists primarily of optical-based communication networks sold to businesses, governments and individuals for their own use.

Role Purpose

Corning is seeking an Automation Process Engineer to support the development of next-generation automated manufacturing processes. This role is focused on building technical understanding of critical process functions and translating that knowledge into clear process requirements for internal teams and external suppliers.
This is an excellent opportunity for an engineer who enjoys solving technical problems, working in development environments, and helping define how automated processes should work before full production systems are launched.

Key Responsibilities

Develop technical understanding of assigned automated manufacturing process functions.
Define process requirements for material handling, sequencing, measurement, timing, tolerances, and interfaces.
Support concept development by identifying risks and resolving technical unknowns through analysis and testing.
Work with prototype and development equipment to troubleshoot, refine, and validate process performance.
Translate process learning into clear specifications and requirements for internal teams and suppliers.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams and document key technical findings, risks, and assumptions.

Experiences/Education - Required

BS in Engineering (Mechanical, Automation Engineering, Physics, or related technical field) with 2+ years of relevant experience, or MS in a related field.
Experience or coursework in automation, manufacturing, process development, equipment engineering, applied physics, or similar technical areas.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
Proficiency with data analysis.
Ability or willingness to work hands-on with prototype and development equipment.
Strong written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
Travel up to 25% may be required.
This role is focused on process development and definition rather than detailed machine design.

Experiences/Education - Desired

Advanced degree in a relevant technical discipline.
Experience with automated manufacturing systems, pilot systems, advanced equipment development, or precision automation.
Familiarity with material handling, process characterization, timing analysis, tolerancing, or repeatability concepts.
Experience with MATLAB, Python, or similar engineering analysis tools.
Exposure to DOE, DMAIC, Six Sigma, or other structured problem-solving methods.

This position does not support immigration sponsorship.

The range for this position is $85,304.00 - $117,293.00 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.

A job that shapes a life.

Your well-being is our priority. Our compensation and benefits package supports your health and wellness, financial aspirations, and career from day one.

Company-wide bonuses and long-term incentives align with key business results and ensure you are rewarded when the company performs well. When Corning wins, we all win.
