Corning Inc.
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.
With our people, we 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.
Our Optical Communications segment The segment has evolved from being a manufacturer of optical fiber and cable, hardware and equipment to a comprehensive provider of industry‑leading optical solutions across the broader communications industry. It 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.
Scope Corning’s Advanced Manufacturing Technology group (AMT) focuses on equipment manufacturing across Development / Design, Industrialization, Procurement, Deployment, Commissioning, and Startup. This position is in the Fiber Capital Programs (FCP) department within AMT and focuses on equipment deployment, commissioning, and startup. The role is an Electrical/Controls Engineer who will lead the upgrading, building, installation, commissioning, and startup of Corning Optical Communications manufacturing systems in the optical fiber and cable division, expanding capacity and capability of Global OFC Manufacturing Facilities.
Provide electrical discipline support in construction, installation, debug, and startup of equipment and automated systems—including hands‑on work to turnover at both domestic and international manufacturing sites.
Supervise and direct internal or contract engineering technicians, internal maintenance, and outside contractors during equipment installation, conversion, demolition, construction, testing, and debug of production equipment.
Develop and use project plans and timelines to achieve project goals while ensuring safety, intellectual property, and quality. All project guidelines and safety requirements must be followed.
Analyze and correct installation practices to improve efficiencies and installation schedules.
Interface with external system integrators and machine builders to deliver fully integrated process equipment systems on‑time, on‑budget, and meeting performance measures.
Perform hands‑on troubleshooting and direct engineering techs and trades to replace defective components and solve process issues.
Provide training to internal or contract engineering techs, internal maintenance, and outside contractors on new equipment installation procedures.
Review, “redline”, and modify existing installation checklists, machine part lists, illustrations, machine specs, schedules, and complete drawing packages, including follow‑up with drafting services.
Provide direction to technicians and modification of existing documentation for complete drawing packages, installation checklists, and machine part lists.
Procure and expedite materials needed to build or install new or modified equipment.
Assess condition and usability of existing equipment for fit and function with new installation plans.
Modify software programs used for process equipment control and understand machine controls for analog and digital I/O, control logic, fail‑safe states, and recovery sequences.
Assist in developing integrated industrial control systems for new manufacturing equipment and modifications.
Re‑design electrical components to reduce installation cost, solve equipment interferences, and correct inadequate designs.
Required Education / Skills – Electrical
BS Electrical Engineering or equivalent (equivalent work experience may be considered in rare circumstances).
Determine and recommend the best solution among alternatives within plant guidelines.
Translate engineering solutions into requirements, then into process and/or equipment designs delivering required performance criteria while interpreting electrical drawings and schematics to aid troubleshooting.
Work well with other disciplines (IT, Mechanical, Process engineering) to understand manufacturing system functionality and design requirements.
Hands‑on ability with typical hand tools, instruments, and measurement/alignment devices.
Flexible and able to manage multiple work streams in a team environment, adjusting to changing priorities with a strong focus on job‑site safety and a proactive safety approach.
Self‑starter, results‑oriented, effective in various settings, and provides necessary information to project, department, and site leaders.
Desired Skills – Electrical
Experience with AutoCAD®, AutoCAD Electrical, Windows, and MS Office suite. Knowledge of PLC and PC‑based systems, Beckhoff PLC / Motion Control, B&R PLC Control, A‑B PLC / Motion Control, Automated equipment systems.
Knowledge of regulations (NEC, NFPA70, OSHA, etc.) and compliance.
Experience on a manufacturing floor or construction environment with a strong focus on job‑site safety.
Bias for action in uncertain situations, proactive problem addressing.
Effective communication and presentation skills.
Project management experience, including developing scope, budgets, and schedules.
Knowledge of the optical fiber manufacturing process.
Technical skills for future assignments with other Corning departments.
PLC code development and SCADA/HMI development, PID control theory knowledge.
Knowledge of power systems for 480VAC and below.
Collaborative with IT, Mechanical, and Process engineering disciplines.
Travel Requirements
Typical travel ranges from a few days to a few weeks during project initiation. During deployment, travel may be full‑time.
Planning, development, and/or deployment phases typically range from 3‑9 months but can extend to 1+ years.
Travel required to Corning Optical Fiber and Cable Manufacturing sites in North Carolina (Concord, Winston‑Salem, Hickory, Newton, and Wilmington) and overseas sites in India, China, and Europe.
This position does not support immigration sponsorship.
The range for this position is $69,847.00‑$96,040.00 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.
Benefits
Company‑wide bonuses and long‑term incentives aligned with key business results.
100% company‑paid pension benefit with fixed contributions. Combined with matching contributions to your 401(k) savings plan, total contributions can reach 7%‑12% of your pay.
Health and well‑being benefits: 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).
Recognition program to celebrate successes and reward colleagues for exceptional contributions.
We prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, gender, age, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, veteran status or any other legally protected status.
We will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodation to participate in the job application or interview process, to perform essential job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment.
