Role
Purpose:
The Process Integrator is a senior technical leader embedded on-site with a strategic manufacturing partner's operations team in San Jose, responsible for bridging process and equipment integration between Corning's ribbon ceramic roll-to-roll technology capabilities and the partner's production operations and scale-up needs. This role requires a minimum of 75% on-site presence throughout an approximately one-year assignment and operates at the intersection of day-to-day manufacturing operations and Corning's Technology Community.
The integrator builds firsthand knowledge of tool performance, production challenges, and operating constraints, translating that learning into actionable insights that connect process behavior, equipment interactions, and medium- to high-volume manufacturing requirements back to Corning. The role emphasizes not only capturing insight, but prioritizing the highest-value learning, linking it to key program assumptions and scale-up criteria, and converting it into decisions, improvements, and manufacturing readiness.
The role also serves as a critical communication link between the partner and Corning—providing structured, clear updates on plans, progress, and emerging issues, while improving coordination and responsiveness between both organizations. The integrator acts as a systems thinker and enterprise connector, accelerating technology learning and enabling effective alignment across company boundaries.
Key Responsibilities:
- End-to-End Process Integration
- Technology Delivery & Scale-Up
- Cross-Functional Alignment & Governance
- Process Optimization & Continuous Improvement
- System-Level Problem Solving
Experiences/Education
- Required:
BS in Engineering, Materials Science or related discipline; advanced degree a plus. Minimum 5 years of experience in process engineering, manufacturing engineering, process integration, or scale-up. Experience in advanced manufacturing, pilot production, or high-volume operations. Strong background in process/equipment interaction, yield improvement, and manufacturing problem solving. Proven root cause analysis and continuous improvement experience. Ability to lead cross-functional technical efforts and influence across organizations.
Strong communication skills and ability to work effectively with external partners. Ability to be on-site in San Jose, CA. at least 75% of the time during the assignment.
Experiences/Education
- Desired:
Experience with roll-to-roll manufacturing, thermal processing, or continuous manufacturing systems. Experience with ceramics, advanced materials, or related material processing technologies. Background in equipment commissioning, process qualification, and manufacturing startup. Knowledge of SPC, DOE, FMEA, process capability, and structured improvement methods. Experience with technology transfer from R&D to…
