Original job description

Requisition Number: 79483

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.

The Specialty Materials segment manufactures products that provide more than 150 material formulations for glass, glass ceramics and fluoride crystals to meet demand for unique customer needs. Consequently, this segment operates in a wide variety of commercial and industrial markets that include display optics and components, semiconductor optics components, aerospace and defense, astronomy, ophthalmic products, telecommunications components and cover glass that is optimized for portable display devices.

Role Purpose

The Optical Engineer is based in Fairport, NY. Corning designs and manufactures the Tropel® brand of high-end, laser-based flatness metrology tools there. These tools measure critical surfaces in many high-technology applications, from semiconductor wafers and lithography photomasks to high-performance rotary seals and hydraulics.

The engineer develops, launches, and maintains metrology systems for demanding applications. To do this, the engineer must become an expert-level user of the current interferometer products. That means understanding the hardware, software, measurement algorithms, and the ways customers use the resulting data. The role covers the full product life cycle: developing next-generation measurement tools, resolving performance and reliability issues, and transferring new technology into manufacturing.

The role is highly collaborative and calls for strong interpersonal and communication skills as well as structured problem solving. It involves substantial hands-on laboratory work, including system prototyping, integration, and experimental characterization. The engineer works regularly with external customers, distributors, and service partners.

Key Responsibilities

Become an expert-level user of the interferometer product line, with deep working knowledge of the optical hardware, software, measurement algorithms, and customer applications.
Manage development projects as technical lead, owning workstreams from concept through prototype, qualification, and production release.
Do hands-on prototyping, troubleshooting, and systems integration of complex opto-mechanical systems. These span optics, precision motion control, sensing, electronics, pneumatics, and software integration.
Specify, characterize, and qualify laser sources and illumination and fiber delivery subsystems. This includes diagnosing performance at the component level, setting acceptance criteria, and ensuring designs meet laser safety requirements.
Conduct repeatability, reproducibility, and gauge studies to quantify system performance.
Provide advanced applications and technical service support for installed systems, both remotely and on site at customer facilities. This often means working through distributors and third-party service organizations.
Train partner, customer, and internal personnel on installation, operation, and troubleshooting.
Support the commercial team with the technical content of quotations, customer presentations, system performance specifications, and field upgrade and retrofit programs.
Work on several projects at once with engineering, development, manufacturing, supply chain, and commercial teams. Facilitate and contribute to design reviews, risk assessments (such as FMEA), and continuous improvement initiatives.
Author design, alignment, test, installation, and service documentation. Manage configuration and design-change records across product generations, and transfer new technology to manufacturing.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Optics, or Physics.
At least 8 years of applicable optical systems-level development and integration experience.
Experience with precision measurement systems and instrument gauge study methods.
Working knowledge of surface and form metrology fundamentals, including flatness and figure error, fringe analysis, and phase measurement techniques.
Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and solve challenging multidisciplinary problems.
Proven track record of managing multiple ongoing projects and priorities at once.
Experience translating complex customer requirements into a cohesive set of design specifications.
Ability to collaborate across manufacturing, engineering, supply chain, and commercial functions.
Strong verbal and written communication skills, including writing technical reports, specifications, and procedures, and communicating directly with customers.
Willingness and ability to work hands-on in a laboratory environment.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office, including Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
Programming experience. C# is preferred, and others such as Matlab, Python, and C++ are beneficial.
Travel of 5 to 10%, both domestic and international.

Desired Qualifications

Hands-on experience with optical interferometry, including alignment, calibration, operation, and interpretation of data from interferometric measurement systems. The posting calls this "highly desired."
Bachelor's degree in optical, mechanical, electrical, or mechatronics engineering.
M.S. or PhD in engineering, optics, or physics.
12 to 15+ years of industry experience developing optical metrology methods and technologies.
Experience in semiconductor applications, particularly photomask, wafer, or lithography.
Experience with laser sources and alignment of both free-space and fiber-coupled optical systems, and familiarity with laser safety practices and standards.
Experience building measurement error budgets and distinguishing instrument error from true part behavior.
Experience with robotic systems and robotic control algorithms.
Familiarity with semiconductor factory automation and handling standards, such as SECS/GEM, SMIF, E84, EDA, and RFID.
Strong working understanding of GD&T and familiarity with optical fabrication and finishing.
Experience with optical software analysis tools such as CODE V, LightTools, and FRED.
A record of invention disclosures, patents, or peer-reviewed technical publications.

This position does not support immigration sponsorship.

The range for this position is $133,911.00 - $184,128.00 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.
