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.

Role Purpose

Corning is seeking a Precision Machine Design Supervisor to lead a team of engineers and machinists developing precision machine systems and components across research, development, and manufacturing applications. In this role, you will drive key technical decisions, mentor a high-performing team, and deliver machine solutions that directly impact product development and manufacturing performance across Corning's business divisions. If you thrive at the intersection of engineering leadership and hands-on technical problem-solving, this is a role worth exploring.

Primary Day-to-Day Responsibilities

  • Lead the design and development of precision machine systems, tooling, fixturing, and mechanical components for R&D and manufacturing applications
  • Supervise and develop engineers in translating product and process requirements into machine concepts, engineering specifications, and detailed mechanical designs
  • Provide technical leadership in kinematics, stiffness, thermal behavior, vibration, and tolerance analysis to drive machine performance and reliability
  • Oversee prototype development, supplier coordination, machine debugging, and equipment implementation in lab and manufacturing environments
  • Manage project priorities, team resource allocation, and schedules; ensure complete and accurate technical documentation across all active programs

Travel Estimated travel: 10-25%, depending on project needs. Travel may include equipment installation, startup support, supplier visits, and engagement with internal teams at other Corning locations.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Precision Engineering, Mechatronics, Electromechanical Engineering, or a related field
  • 8+ years of experience in machine design, equipment development, product development, or manufacturing engineering
  • 5+ years demonstrated experience leading projects, mentoring engineers, or supervising technical teams in an engineering or manufacturing environment
  • 5+ years understanding of precision machinery principles including tolerance analysis, machine stiffness, motion systems, thermal effects, and vibration
  • 5+ years experience specifying and selecting mechanical components such as linear guides, bearings, ball screws, motors, encoders, and structural elements
  • Proficiency with CAD software (SolidWorks) and engineering analysis tools

Desired Qualifications

  • 1-2 years of Computer Numerical Controls (CNC) machining experience
  • Experience with precision measurement instruments such as interferometers, laser trackers, accelerometers, autocollimators, test indicators, and precision levels
  • Familiarity with metrology concepts, data analysis, and engineering standards
  • Experience leading prototype builds, lab testing, machine debugging, and equipment implementation
  • Exposure to instrumentation, sensors, data acquisition (DAQ) systems, or LabVIEW-based measurement setups

This position does not support immigration sponsorship.  

The range for this position is $143,473.00 - $197,276.00 assuming full time status. Starting pay for the successful applicant is dependent on a variety of job-related factors, including but not limited to geographic location, market demands, experience, training, and education.
