** manufacturing** , and
** product applications
** that support multiple Corning businesses. The team helps solve practical problems tied to how
** glass** ,
** ceramics** , and other materials perform in equipment and manufacturing environments. This is a strong fit for someone with a background in
** ceramic engineering** ,
** materials science** , or a closely related engineering field who enjoys lab work, technical troubleshooting, and applied engineering. Candidates with directly aligned ceramic or materials degrees may come from strong academic, research, internship, or early-career backgrounds, while candidates from adjacent engineering disciplines should bring relevant industrial materials experience.

** Key Responsibilities*
* + Apply ceramic and materials engineering fundamentals to solve technical challenges related to glass, ceramics, and other materials used in manufacturing processes

+ Support projects focused on improving yield, extending asset life, reducing cost, improving product performance, and enabling new products

+ Develop and carry out laboratory test plans and process simulations to better understand material behavior and support root cause investigation

+ Work closely with laboratory staff, technicians, suppliers, and engineering teams to evaluate materials and support project execution

+ Partner with design and manufacturing teams to recommend materials based on operating conditions, application requirements, and performance needs

+ Share technical findings through reports and presentations to technical peers, project teams, and leadership

+ Document project results using structured engineering methods and sound technical analysis

+ Support multiple projects at once across a range of materials and business applications

** Minimum Qualifications and Skills*
* + Bachelor's or Master's degree in Ceramic Engineering or Materials Science Engineering, or a related engineering discipline with relevant industrial materials…
