Role Purpose

We're hiring engineers who want to kickstart their career in the heart of manufacturing — where the real product, the real people, and the real challenges are — and grow into the technical and operational leaders who will shape Corning's next 175 years.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead a team of 25–50 operators and technicians during your shift, ensuring safety, quality, and production targets are met
  • Operate independently — make real-time decisions on staffing, line issues, and priorities, escalating when needed
  • Partner with engineering, quality, planning, and plant leadership to solve problems and improve operations
  • Track and report manufacturing metrics, identifying trends and opportunities for improvement
  • Coach, develop, and recognize your team — your success is measured by theirs
  • Manage day-to-day operations including task assignments, work checks, timecards, and payroll
  • Deepen your process expertise by working hand-in-hand with engineers on technology hand-offs, troubleshooting, and improvement projects

Work Hours

  • This role operates on a fixed rotating shift pattern — you'll cycle through all three shifts. We're upfront about this because it's a real consideration, and we want candidates who go in with eyes open.
  • Fixed rotating shift pattern: (1) Day Shift, 7am - 3pm, 1 day off.  (2) Swing shift, 3pm - 11pm, 2 consecutive days off.  (3) Night Shift, 11pm - 7am, 4 consecutive days off.

Experiences/Education - Required

  • Bachelor's degree in any engineering discipline (Mechanical, Industrial, Chemical, Materials, Manufacturing, Electrical, etc.)
  • Genuine interest in manufacturing, operations, and people leadership
  • Willingness to learn quickly, ask questions, and apply solutions
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate across teams
  • Comfort making decisions in dynamic, real-time environments

Skills- Desired

  • Engineering internships, co-ops, or undergraduate research
  • Leadership experience in any form — Teaching Assistant, sports team captain, senior design / capstone project lead, student org officer, ROTC, resident advisor, part-time supervisory roles
  • Exposure to lean manufacturing, Six Sigma, or continuous improvement concepts
  • Process-improvement mindset — you naturally look for "how can this be better?"

 

This position does not support immigration sponsorship.  

 

​The range for this position is $63,086.00 - $86,743.00 biweekly.  Starting pay for the successful applicant is prescribed based on geographic location, nature of position, and year in school.
