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.

How do we do this? With our people. They break through limitations and expectations– not once in a career, but every day. They help move our company,and the world, forward.

At Corning, there are endless possibilities for making an impact. You can help connect the unconnected, drive the future of automobiles, transform at-home entertainment, and ensure the delivery of lifesaving medicines. And so much more.

Come break through with us.

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.

As aTest Equipment Engineer you would be expected to:

• Develop new manufacturing processes, technologies and methods, primarily focused on measurement systems and their integration into the production process flow.
• Provide technical leadership in developing and documenting process controls, standardized methods and procedures for measurement systems.
• Work directly with Plant, Division, and Technology Engineering on the development of new measurement systems and improvements/upgrades to existing systems.
  
  Supports manufacturing improvement initiatives, including variability reduction, defect reduction, process control improvement with a primary focus on measurement systems
• Participate in manufacturing and development activities to canvass/identify measurement develop needs that provide enhanced product attributes, cost reductions, or other competitive advantages.

Key Reponsibilities

• Function as the primary point of contact (POC) to support/maintain measurement equipment and systems in the plant
• Drive continuous improvements to existing manufacturing measurements systems through improved measurement system interfaces and implementing process automation where applicable
• Understand system level problem statements and identify potential solutions, develop novel approaches to solve complex problems and make quick critical experiments to demonstrate feasibility
• Lead cross-functional work-stream project teams to support process improvements through measurement software and hardware upgrades, focusing on process cost, quality, and capability
• Perform project management and documentation activities
• Provide progress reports to key stakeholders and organizational leadership
• Utilize statistical tools, engineering data, and DMAIC/DESGN/Lean/MEE methodologies to develop process understanding to support robust manufacturing processes and Measurement systems
• Work with Technology, Division Engineering, and Plant Engineering to develop and introduce new measurements technologies and upgrade existing measurement systems (includes participation in the design, building, testing and extension of various measurement systems)
• Participate in cross-functional and virtual project teams or in Stage Gate (RA, LA, GA) projects, in order to support global standardization processes (CSC)
• Develop and execute of Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA), Gauge R&R studies, design of experiments (DOE) and data analysis to identify opportunities and implement improvements to the measurement systems or production process
• Create/update documentation for release to production including operating procedures, PM and troubleshooting
• Train engineering, maintenance and operations personnel on how…
