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.
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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
