Original job description

Requisition Number: 78774

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.

Lead technical and capital projects of moderate complexity from definition through implementation, including scope, schedule, cost estimates, business justification, risk assessment, startup, training, and handoff
Partner with Operations, Engineering, Maintenance, Quality, Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS), Supply Chain, Finance, and Technology teams; provide clear technical recommendations and escalate safety, quality, or compliance risks

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Engineering or a directly related technical discipline
2+ years of relevant manufacturing or engineering experience
Experience applying data analysis and technical problem solving to manufacturing issues
Experience executing projects from definition through implementation

Desired Qualifications

Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma experience or certification
Experience leading capital or productivity projects
Experience with applicable manufacturing processes, controls, or quality systems

This position does not support immigration sponsorship.

The range for this position is $81,750.00 - $112,406.00 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.

Our health and well-being benefits include medical, dental, vision, paid parental leave, family building support, fitness, company-paid life insurance, disability, disease management programs, paid time off, and an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to support you and your family.
