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.

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

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.

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.
As part of our commitment to your financial well-being, we provide a 100% company-paid pension benefit with fixed contributions that grow throughout your career. Combined with matching contributions to your 401(k) savings plan, Corning’s total contributions to your retirement accounts can reach between 7% and 12% of your pay, depending on your age and years of service.
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.
