** Role Purpose*
* Corning is seeking an experienced Senior Process & System Engineer to lead the development, scale-up, and manufacturing readiness of complex production processes, owning the full technology transfer from R&D and pilot environments into full-scale manufacturing.

This is a high-visibility, cross-functional role supporting Corning's advanced manufacturing network, with impact beyond a single site. You'll partner directly with engineering, operations, and R&D leaders on critical manufacturing transformations, with direct senior leadership visibility. Relocation assistance is available for candidates outside the immediate area.

The role combines deep process engineering expertise with systems integration thinking, aligning process design, equipment qualification, controls, quality systems, and manufacturing operations to deliver scalable, repeatable, and validated processes.

** Key Responsibilities*
* + Lead end-to-end manufacturing process development, from process architecture definition through pilot builds, process validation (IQ/OQ/PQ), and full production ramp

+ Define process flow diagrams (PFDs), equipment requirements, controls interfaces, and quality checkpoints for complex manufacturing systems

+ Enabling process assessment and continuous improvement through process engineering fundamentals-driving capability enhancement and advancing toward manufacturing process excellence

+ Apply systems engineering principles to ensure alignment across process design, equipment capability, controls, and manufacturing operations

+ Lead technical risk identification and resolution using FMEA, root cause analysis, 8D, and Design of Experiments (DOE)

+ Drive New Product Introduction (NPI) and technology transfer, ensuring effective knowledge transfer and long-term process operability post-launch

+ Partner with process, mechanical, controls, quality, and manufacturing teams to build in Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and scalability from day one

+ Manage external equipment suppliers and system integrators to develop and qualify production-ready systems

+ Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical teams and senior leadership, influencing cost- and quality-focused decisions

** Required Experience & Qualifications*
* + Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Chemical, Industrial, Materials, or related);
Master's preferred, with advanced-degree candidates considered…
