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's Optical Communications (COC) segment is one of the world's leading providers of fiber and optical solutions - and our Cable Technology organization is growing. We're looking for a technically credible engineer to build a training capability from the ground up: designing the onboarding programs, skill-up curricula, and knowledge-transfer systems that will define how our engineering teams develop for years to come.

This is a high-visibility, build-from-scratch opportunity with a clear path into a Senior Development Engineer role once the training function is established and running sustainably.

• Design and deploy a structured onboarding program and skill-up curriculum for Cable Technology engineering staff across Hickory-area manufacturing sites
• Partner with subject matter experts (SMEs) to capture and codify plant process, equipment, and manufacturing knowledge into structured, teachable content
• Establish a competency and skills assessment process to identify and prioritize training needs across the engineering organization
• Deliver hands-on training using real manufacturing processes, equipment, tools, and plant software; travel between NC Cable Manufacturing sites as needed to gather site-specific process knowledge and deliver in-person instruction
• Track program effectiveness, refine content based on feedback, report outcomes to leadership, and evaluate build-vs-buy decisions for training content; manage external training vendor relationships where applicable

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical, or related technical field)
• 5+ years of professional experience in cable manufacturing with deep, hands-on knowledge of plant systems, equipment, and manufacturing software
• Demonstrated ability to build structured training or technical content from the ground up, without an existing department or template to draw from
• Proficiency in DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) and structured problem-solving methodologies
• Strong technical writing and content development skills
• Working knowledge of statistical and data systems used to analyze manufacturing performance and identify skill or knowledge gaps
• Familiarity with risk management principles as applied to…
