Overview

Corning is hiring a Reliability Scientist to support the operational and project work that keeps our reliability team running. About half the role is hands-on execution — organizing samples, preparing data, and producing technical reports that drive decisions. The other half is project work that grows over time based on team priorities and your strengths. It's a strong fit for someone who blends sharp organizational skills with technical curiosity and wants to build broad capability across reliability science.

 

Primary Day-to-Day Responsibilities

  • Organize and track samples, test requests, and technical documentation across multiple reliability workstreams
  • Compile and analyze reliability data, and produce clear technical reports, summaries, and presentations
  • Support sample preparation and readiness for reliability testing and analysis
  • Manage follow-up actions, timelines, and open items across team priorities
  • Contribute to reliability assessments, investigations, and project work — with scope expanding over time based on capability and team need

 

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in materials science, engineering, chemistry, physics, or a related technical field — or equivalent relevant experience
  • Experience with data analysis, spreadsheets, and technical reporting or documentation
  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail across multiple concurrent assignments
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to manage shifting priorities and bring structure to work that is not always fully defined

 

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience in a laboratory, engineering, manufacturing, or product development environment
  • Exposure to reliability testing, failure analysis, or technical project support
  • Familiarity with statistical or data analysis tools (e.g., JMP, Minitab, Excel)
  • Experience coordinating cross-functional technical work or project follow-through

This position does not support immigration sponsorship.  

 

The range for this position is $64,173.00 - $88,238.00 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.
