From Home Measurement Engineer Jobs (NOW HIRING)

The company built on breakthroughs. Join us.

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.

At Corning, we bring together technically deep engineers to develop solutions that push the boundaries of automation and measurement. As an Automation Measurement Engineer, you’ll lead the design and integration of advanced measurement, sensing, inspection, and test systems — working across hardware, software, and systems disciplines to deliver solutions that are accurate, scalable, and built to perform in industrial environments. If you thrive at the intersection of optics, metrology, and automation, this role offers meaningful technical challenges and real impact.

Primary Day‑to‑Day Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and integrate automated measurement, sensing, inspection, and test solutions across complex automation systems
• Lead system architecture decisions, feasibility studies, and proof‑of‑concept development to evaluate and reduce technical risk
• Drive integration of measurement hardware, sensors, fixtures, and software into broader automation platforms; troubleshoot performance, accuracy, and repeatability issues
• Collaborate across mechanical, electrical, controls, software, and manufacturing teams to define requirements and deliver integrated solutions
• Mentor junior engineers, support intellectual property documentation, and communicate project results and risks to stakeholders

Required Qualifications

• BS in Engineering, Physics, or a related technical field with 6–8 years of relevant experience; MS with 4–6 years; or PhD with 0–3 years
• Hands‑on experience with optics, metrology, measurement, and inspection systems in industrial or automation environments
• Knowledge of engineering mechanics and design principles: fixtures, tooling, structural stability, alignment, tolerance analysis, and precision assembly
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical projects or workstreams across multiple engineering disciplines, with strong communication and stakeholder alignment skills
• Scientific programming experience in C#, C++, Java, or similar languages; solid foundation in software engineering principles and architecture
• Strong analytical skills including data analysis, statistics, signal processing, measurement system evaluation, calibration, accuracy, and repeatability assessment

Desired Qualifications

• Strong technical understanding of how measurement and sensing systems are electrically and mechanically integrated into equipment and/or automation platforms.
• Experience with SolidWorks, mechanical fixture, tooling design, GD&T, tolerance stack‑up analysis, precision alignment, and assembly methods
• Experience with interferometry, chromatic confocal, displacement sensing, force measurement, temperature sensing, laser‑based measurement, or other industrial sensing technologies
• Familiarity with both vendor‑based inspection/sensing platforms and PC‑based measurement or automation software tools
• Experience with data acquisition systems, industrial communications, PLC interfacing, and controls integration
• Experience working in manufacturing, automation, metrology, or industrial engineering environments
• Familiarity with object‑oriented software development in modern programming languages.
• Experience with Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or similar tools.
