+ Precision glass for advanced displays to deliver richer experiences

+ Auto glass and ceramics to drive cleaner, safer, and smarter transportation

+ Solar polysilicon, wafers, and innovative photovoltaic modules, enabling low-cost solar energy solutions

** Role Purpose*
* Design and integrate automated electromechanical systems that deliver precision, throughput, and reliability in advanced manufacturing. This role supports scaling complex technologies into production across Corning facilities, spanning mechanical design, electrical integration, motion control, and controls engineering.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role for an engineer who excels at the intersection of mechanical, electrical, and controls disciplines. You will support the full equipment lifecycle - machine build, FAT, SAT, debugging, optimization, commissioning, production ramp-up, and sustained manufacturing - ensuring systems perform reliably  ideal candidate is practical, execution-focused, strong across engineering domains, and highly collaborative with mechanical, electrical, controls, software, process, and manufacturing teams.

** Key Responsibilities*
* + Design and integrate electromechanical systems for high-precision automated manufacturing equipment, including mechanical assemblies, electrical panels, PLC/HMI programming, and motion control architectures.

+ Lead and support machine build, FAT, SAT, debugging, optimization, commissioning, and production ramp-up across multiple Corning sites.

+ Partner with process, controls, software, electrical, and manufacturing engineering teams to achieve OEE, throughput, cycle time, and quality targets.

+ Improve machine robustness, reliability, uptime, and scalability through sound engineering judgment, RCA, and corrective/preventive actions.

+ Drive Kaizen and structured continuous improvement as systems transition from NPI/development into sustained high-volume manufacturing.

+ Develop and maintain technical documentation including engineering drawings, BOMs, wiring diagrams, electrical schematics, P&IDs, and control logic documentation.

+ Provide on-site engineering support during commissioning, IQ/OQ/PQ qualification, and ramp-to-rate to ensure successful technology transfer and production readiness.

+ Identify and implement design improvements that reduce unplanned downtime, improve reliability, and support long-term scalability and cost competitiveness.

** Required Education & Experience*
* + BS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a related technical field.

+ 5+ years of hands-on experience in automation engineering, controls…
