Job Description

Are you passionate about building practical AI solutions that can scale in an enterprise environment?

At Corning, we are looking for a Sr. AI Engineer to help design, build, implement, and support AI-enabled applications, tools, agents, and integrations that support business needs across Corning Optical Communications.

This role is part of our Digital & IT organization and is focused on applying AI through hands-on software engineering, application development, Python, APIs, LLM-enabled solutions, and enterprise integrations. This is not a pure research or model-training role. We are looking for someone who can build real, supportable AI solutions that can be used by business and technical users.

What will you do?

Design, build, test, implement, and support AI-enabled applications, tools, agents, automations, and integrations.

Develop Python-based solutions and work with APIs, JSON payloads, model integrations, and LLM-enabled workflows.

Partner with business and technical stakeholders to translate requirements into practical AI solutions.

Build and support chatbot, RAG, conversational AI, and model-connected application capabilities.

Contribute to application development efforts that make AI agents and tools easier for users to access and use.

Support solution quality through debugging, testing, documentation, troubleshooting, and post-deployment stabilization.

Help create reusable patterns, improve engineering practices, and mentor less experienced engineers when needed.

What do you need to have?

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, Data Science, or a related technical discipline.

4+ years of relevant experience in software engineering, AI engineering, application development, automation, integration development, or related technical solution delivery.

Strong hands-on experience with Python

Experience working with APIs, JSON payloads, integrations, and application/service development

Professional experience building or supporting AI-enabled applications, LLM-based solutions, chatbots, RAG solutions, agents, automations, or model-connected workflows.

Experience participating in technical projects within a company or business environment, not only personal experimentation with AI tools.

Strong understanding of software development fundamentals such as debugging, testing, version control, documentation, and maintainable coding practices.

Ability to communicate effectively with technical teams and business stakeholders.

Advanced English communication skills.

What would be a plus?

Experience with enterprise AI assistants, chatbot platforms, internal AI tools, or AI-enabled productivity platforms.

Experience with RAG, prompt engineering, agentic AI, orchestration patterns, or MCP development.

Experience with Databricks or Databricks Genie Spaces.

Experience with model-serving endpoints or managed AI services.

Experience with tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Codex, or similar AI-assisted development tools.

Cloud experience with Azure, AWS, or GCP.

Experience mentoring junior engineers or helping define reusable development patterns.

Experience in manufacturing technology, enterprise software, automation, workflow platforms, or internal productivity platforms.

What should we offer?

Opportunity to be part of a growing AI engineering team focused on practical enterprise AI solutions.

Exposure to modern AI technologies, LLM applications, agents, automation, chatbot/RAG solutions, and enterprise integrations.

A hybrid role based in Obispado, Monterrey, with most work expected to be remote and office presence as needed.

Opportunity to influence how AI is adopted and scaled across Corning Optical Communications.

Career growth in AI engineering, technical leadership, enterprise application development, and AI platform enablement.
