Corning is one of the world’s leading innovators in glass, ceramic, and materials science. From the depths of the ocean to the farthest reaches of space, our technologies push the boundaries of what’s possible.
We are seeking a Process Development Engineer in Corning’s Advanced Optics group based in Rochester, NY. You’ll lead hands-on innovation in high-precision optical fabrication—developing and optimizing advanced processes for mirrors, lenses, and freeform optics used in next-generation semiconductor inspection systems.
Role Purpose
Shape the future of advanced manufacturing as a Process Development Engineer. Tackle complex challenges in sub-aperture polishing, CNC machining, and metrology, collaborating with experts across R&D and manufacturing.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
- Drive development and optimization of advanced polishing processes for glass, crystals, and a range of optical substrates on flats, spheres, aspheres, and freeforms.
- Analyze experimental results using rigorous scientific and engineering principles.
- Manufacture prototype optics for cutting-edge optical systems for semiconductor equipment customers.
- Identify and assess technical risks and challenges for both prototype and commercial opportunities.
- Collaborate with finance, procurement, and plant engineering on capital investment needs.
- Clearly communicate results to peers, management, and technology partners.
- Stay at the forefront of technological advances and market trends.
Experiences/Education - Required
- Bachelor's degree in optics, physics, or related STEM field. (M.S. or Ph.D. desired).
- 5+ years of experience in high precision asphere fabrication for visible/DUV optical systems.
- Proficiency with CNC platforms (grinder, polisher, MRF, IBF, sub-aperture polisher) on glasses and crystals.
- Hands-on experience with smoothing mid-spatial frequency errors.
- Familiarity with metrology methods and ability to analyze data.
- Proven track record of implementing new processes within budget and on schedule.
Experiences/Education - Desired
- Experience with EUV/X-ray optics, diamond-turning, and metal/alloy substrates.
- Familiarity with cleanroom environments and optical surface cleaning processes.
- Experience with Design of Experiment (DOE), and statistical analysis tools.
Travel Requirements: 10% - 15%. Primarily domestic travel. Some international travel for conferences, trade shows, customer meetings.
