Job description

Requisition Number: 76177
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

Corning is hiring a Materials Engineer in Corning, NY at the Decker Engineering Building in an onsite role supporting materials and high-temperature laboratory work. Relocation assistance provided. This position includes up to 25% travel, primarily domestic with some international travel depending on project needs.
For engineers who want more variety, more hands-on problem solving, and broader exposure than a typical single-site role can offer, this position provides the chance to work across materials, manufacturing, and product applications that support multiple Corning businesses. The team helps solve practical problems tied to how glass, ceramics, and other materials perform in equipment and manufacturing environments. This is a strong fit for someone with a background in ceramic engineering, materials science, or a closely related engineering field who enjoys lab work, technical troubleshooting, and applied engineering. Candidates with directly aligned ceramic or materials degrees may come from strong academic, research, internship, or early-career backgrounds, while candidates from adjacent engineering disciplines should bring relevant industrial materials experience.
Key Responsibilities
  • Apply ceramic and materials engineering fundamentals to solve technical challenges related to glass, ceramics, and other materials used in manufacturing processes
  • Support projects focused on improving yield, extending asset life, reducing cost, improving product performance, and enabling new products
  • Develop and carry out laboratory test plans and process simulations to better understand material behavior and support root cause investigation
  • Work closely with laboratory staff, technicians, suppliers, and engineering teams to evaluate materials and support project execution
  • Partner with design and manufacturing teams to recommend materials based on operating conditions, application requirements, and performance needs
  • Share technical findings through reports and presentations to technical peers, project teams, and leadership
  • Document project results using structured engineering methods and sound technical analysis
  • Support multiple projects at once across a range of materials and business applications

Minimum Qualifications and Skills
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Ceramic Engineering or Materials Science Engineering, or a related engineering discipline with relevant industrial materials experience
  • 0-3 years of experience in a ceramic, materials, or related engineering role
  • Technical knowledge of material processing, evaluation, and failure mechanisms, especially in ceramic, glass, or other manufacturing-related applications
  • Hands-on laboratory or applied engineering experience developing and carrying out experiments to investigate material behavior and root cause
  • Ability to manage multiple technical priorities across different project areas
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document findings and present technical information to different audiences

Preferred Qualifications and Skills
  • Background in ceramic materials, glass materials, refractory materials, or high-temperature materials applications
  • Experience supporting manufacturing, process engineering, material qualification, or supplier-related work
  • Familiarity with microstructure, chemistry, ceramic forming techniques, dry or wet processing, or sintering
  • Experience with statistical analysis, design of experiments, or structured problem-solving methods
  • Ability to work effectively with technicians, suppliers, and cross-functional engineering teams
  • Interest in developing broad technical capability within a corporate materials engineering organization

This position does not support immigration sponsorship.
The range for this position is $67,150.00 - $92,331.00 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.
A job that shapes a life.
Corning offers you the total package.
Your well-being is our priority. Our compensation and benefits package supports your health and wellness, financial aspirations, and career from day one.
  • Company-wide bonuses and long-term incentives align with key business results and ensure you are rewarded when the company performs well. When Corning wins, we all win.
  • As part of our commitment to your financial well-being, we provide a 100% company-paid pension benefit with fixed contributions that grow throughout your career. Combined with matching contributions to your 401(k) savings plan, Corning's total contributions to your retirement accounts can reach between 7% and 12% of your pay, depending on your age and years of service.
  • Our health and well-being benefits include medical, dental, vision, paid parental leave, family building support, fitness, company-paid life insurance, disability, disease management programs, paid time off, and an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to support you and your family.
  • Getting paid for our work is important, but feeling appreciated and recognized for those contributions motivates us much more. That's why Corning offers a recognition program to celebrate successes and reward colleagues who make exceptional contributions.
