The company built on breakthroughs.
Join us.

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.

How do we do this? With our people. They 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.

Come break through with us.

Our Optical Communications segment has recently evolved from being a manufacturer of optical fiber and cable, hardware and equipment to being a comprehensive provider of industry-leading optical solutions across the broader communications industry.

This segment 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.

The Sr. DT Engineer will play a critical role in the design, implementation, and support of Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) within our organization. This role will focus on optimizing manufacturing processes through Digital solutions while ensuring seamless integration between MES and other enterprise systems (e.g., ERP, SCADA, etc.). The engineer will act as the technical lead for MES projects, collaborating closely with cross‑functional teams, to enhance productivity, quality, and efficiency in our manufacturing operations.
