+ Solar polysilicon, wafers, and innovative photovoltaic modules, enabling low-cost solar energy solutions

** 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*
* + Define and document process and equipment interactions across the partner's production operations, identifying interdependencies that affect throughput, quality, and scale-up performance

+ Integrate operational observations into a coherent system-level view of process behavior, including equipment performance, thermal process variables, and roll-to-roll dynamics

+ Translate observations into structured learning objectives tied to key assumptions, risks, and scale-up criteria

+ Ensure that insights drive system-level optimization across cost, quality, and throughput

** Technology Delivery & Scale-Up*
* + Lead integration efforts across current production operations, scale-up learning milestones, and manufacturing readiness targets

+ Ensure critical assumptions are tested, resolved, and incorporated into scale-up decisions and planning

+ Prioritize efforts on highest-impact learning opportunities and…
