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.

Experience executing projects from definition through implementation

Desired Qualifications

Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma experience or certification
