Corning is vital to progress – in the industries we help shape and in the world we share.

We invent life-changing technologies using materials science. Our scientific and manufacturing expertise, boundless curiosity, and commitment to purposeful invention place us at the center of the way the world interacts, works, learns, and lives.

Our sustained investment in research, development, and invention means we’re always ready to solve the toughest challenges alongside our customers. 

Corning’s Display Technologies segment manufactures glass substrates for active matrix liquid crystal displays (“LCDs”) that are used primarily in LCD televisions, notebook computers and flat panel desktop monitors.

ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: Support display customer complex technical problem solving involving glass attributes, mechanical reliability, solid and fracture mechanics.  Using engineering approach, define customer problem definition and develop leading hypothesis of potential root cause. Validate technical hypothesis either through physical experimental or analytical modeling.  Collaborate with cross-functional commercial and technical team to provide timely customer problem resolution. Perform measurement of glass interactions with display system and if necessary, develop analytical modeling capabilities. Establish and implement experimental plan necessary to characterize glass performance and interactions in display system.  Develop analytical modeling capabilities for critical glass attributes. Depending on the technical problem statement, this could include first principle engineering calculation or analytical model like FEA (finite element analysis). Participate or lead Display Innovation special projects that could involve new product concepts, complex customer problem solving and other critical business related projects. Take leading role in scoping, gain agreement among stakeholders and execute long range display projects.  Assess product requirements, match with Corning capability, potential technical solution path(s), competitive position together with appropriate RD&E resources.
  EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS MS or PhD in Glass Science, Material Science or Mechanical Engineering; preference for expertise in solid mechanics, fracture mechanics or FEA (finite element analysis) of brittle materials. 

 

WORK EXPERIENCE

Preference for 5 years of industry experience; can be substituted for university research experience. REQUIRED SKILLS Wide range knowledge glass science and technologies. Strong preference for individuals that enjoy innovation and aspire to be leading display technical expert.  Ability to operate in highly matrix organization with multiple reporting structures.  Ability to collaborative across functions; pulling in needed skills from research, development, engineering, commercial and manufacturing. Strong problem-solving skills, ability to stay calm under difficult situations and communicate clearly across organization. Solid mechanical modeling experience as plus
  DESIRED SKILLS Preference for hands-on approach to problem solving and innovation.
