There will be a large emphasis on the application of controls theory, as well as strong interpersonal skills to function effectively within cross-functional and global project teams. 

Key Responsibilities

  • Work individually or alongside other experienced professionals to design, develop and implement process controls solutions for manufacturing processes
  • Define the appropriate platform for implementing process control solutions
  • Evaluate existing control strategies and propose improvements  
  • Work with process SMEs to identify promising areas for applying process control solutions
  • Conduct design of experiments (DOE) to gather process related data, and identify multi-variant relationships
  • Develop and apply process controls skills to implement controls solutions ranging from PID to multivariate model predictive control, and other classic and non-classic controls schemes
  • Evaluate readiness of process control solutions from R&D organizations, and facilitate the technology transfer into manufacturing
  • Documentation of designs and experimental results

Experiences/Education - Required

  • Bachelors or Masters in Electrical, Mechanical or Chemical Engineering with a concentration in control theory. 2-5 years’ experience in process controls design and implementation. Masters highly preferred with coursework in advanced process controls.
  • Working experience as a control engineer use process control to automate and control operational variables such as flow rates, temperatures, for example Petrochemical or Glass industries is a plus.

Required Skills

  • Willing to understand Corning hot-end process and then apply the engineering solution for process improvement and optimization as a process controls expert.
  • Motivated self-starter with an independent learning style
  • Strong understanding and practical application of classical control theory, including PID control loop tuning and more advanced techniques (cascade, frequency analysis, model identification, etc.)
  • Programming experience in MATLAB, C# or similar programming language to perform data analysis, signal processing, control design, controls system performance analysis and tuning, and plot generation
  • Desire to develop deep process understanding
