Job description

Requisition Number: 74364
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.
Corning's businesses are ever-evolving to best serve our customers, industries, and consumers. Today, we accelerate and transform life sciences, mobile consumer electronics, optical communications, display, automotive, and solar markets. We are changing the world with:
  • Trusted products that accelerate drug discovery, development, and delivery to save lives
  • Damage-resistant cover glass to enhance the devices that keep us connected
  • Optical fiber, wireless technologies, and connectivity solutions to carry information and ideas at the speed of light
  • Precision glass for advanced displays to deliver richer experiences
  • Auto glass and ceramics to drive cleaner, safer, and smarter transportation
  • Solar polysilicon, wafers, and innovative photovoltaic modules, enabling low-cost solar energy solutions

Role Purpose
Design and develop mechanical systems that enable advanced technologies to transition from research and development into scalable, production-ready manufacturing solutions. This role focuses on translating early concepts into robust mechanical designs that perform reliably in high-volume manufacturing environments.
Key Responsibilities
  • Design precision mechanical components, assemblies, and subsystems for advanced manufacturing equipment.
  • Collaborate across mechanical, process, controls, and manufacturing teams to ensure designs meet functional, quality, and production requirements.
  • Support the evolution of designs from early development and prototyping through pilot builds and manufacturing deployment.
  • Apply sound engineering judgment to ensure designs are robust, serviceable, and scalable.
  • Partner with suppliers and fabrication partners to refine designs for manufacturability and cost effectiveness.
  • Contribute to troubleshooting, design iteration, and continuous improvement as systems transition into production use.

Required Experience & Attributes
  • Strong experience designing mechanisms, structures, and assemblies intended for production use-not just prototypes.
  • Demonstrated ability to work across disciplines (process, controls, manufacturing, quality) to deliver integrated solutions.
  • Technical credibility that enables influence across teams, functions, and partner organizations.
  • Experience supporting the transition of technologies from R&D or pilot environments into manufacturing.
  • Comfortable working in environments where requirements evolve as learning progresses.
  • Must be available for significant travel, primarily domestic, to multiple locations to support business needs. International travel could be required as well.

Preferred Capabilities
  • Minimum Bachelor's degree in Engineering or related discipline
  • 8+ years of applied mechanical design experience in manufacturing, automation, or industrial equipment environments. Will consider less years of experience with advanced degree.
  • Experience designing for automation, precision assembly, or high-throughput manufacturing systems.
  • Familiarity with tolerance analysis, materials selection, and design for reliability.
  • Experience collaborating with external suppliers, integrators, or contract manufacturers.
  • Strong CAD proficiency and experience managing design documentation through release and revision cycles.

This position does not support immigration sponsorship.
The range for this position is $95,227.00 - $130,938.00 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.
