Requisition Number: 64916
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.
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.
Role Purpose
This group develops and integrates the Measurement and Inspection systems that enable Global Manufacturing to characterize and verify compliance of products manufactured and sold to our customers. The position is responsible of design and implementation of measurement processes and equipment, providing continuous improvement in process, cost, quality, and throughput.
Key Responsibilities
- Work closely with experienced professionals across a variety of functional groups (manufacturing, division, etc.) to define, develop and implement measurement methods, inspection systems and establish timing requirements and expectations for measurement requests and communicating any/all notifications to the affected parties.
- Lead or participate in projects for cost reduction, process improvements to address measurement cycle time reduction, measurement uncertainty (improving quality and yield issues) or equipment cost/availability and responsible of development roadmap.
- Provide advice on equipment maintenance, calibration, troubleshooting and repair, identify root cause of failures and implement corrective actions.
- Utilize and promotes the usage of statistical tools, engineering data, and DMAIC/DESGN/Lean/MEE methodologies to develop process understanding to support robust manufacturing processes and Measurement systems.
- Establish protocols for development of studies and experiments, champion measurement uncertainty/measurement system analysis techniques to ensure proper measurement system application and capability, design of experiments and analyze data to identify and implement measurement integrity and efficiency improvements.
- Transfer measurement technology from other location/region or in early-stage development to a system ready for use in a manufacturing environment.
- Coordinate efforts for the development of documentation in support of measurement system deployments including machine specifications, operating procedures, and drawing packages.
- Leverage external suppliers with key technologies or systems integration expertise to develop, procure, build, and install test equipment for capacity expansion needs.
- Train, coach, and mentor fellow employees
- Ambassador of safe work environment in Metrology laboratories and Manufacturing lines; support and perform 5S implementation in work area to achieve goals.
Experiences/Education - Required
- BS in Optical Science / Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical, Physics, Mechanics, or Mechatronics.
- 5+ years of work experience in measurement engineering, process engineering, visual inspection automation or related area.
- MS or PhD in Optics Sciences, Metrology or similar would be considered as a substitute for years of experience.
- Fluent in english
- Working and demonstrated applied knowledge of fiber optic cable assembly measurement equipment related but not limited to optical attenuation, reflectometry, surface profile interferometry, and video microscopy (end-face inspection).
- Demonstrated excellence in science and engineering fundamentals, including demonstrated application of the scientific method, Lean methodologies, and DMAIC tools.
- Experience with FMEA, PFMEA or Causal tree analysis applications and use of SPC, comparative methods and design of experiments tools.
- Strong knowledge of statistical analysis of data: standard deviation, mean, statistical agreement tests, data transformation, trend identification, regression analysis, curve fitting, etc.
- Experience with Measurement Uncertainty Analysis, Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (GR R), and/or Measurement System Analysis (MSA).
Experiences/Education - Desired
- Demonstrated application of measurement science in the fields of fiber optics, surface profiling interferometry, microscopy, optical refractometry and/or other optical or physical measurement disciplines.
- Machine Vision system development for manufacturing inspection applications (optics, lighting, cameras, image acquisition, and basic knowledge of image processing algorithms).
- CAD software for generation of mechanical assemblies and drawings, optical and electrical schematics, and general design layouts.
- national and international standards relating to dimensional metrology and measurement uncertainty (ISO,GPS and ASME B89).
- computer-based measurement or automation equipment, design, setup, support and data systems architecture.
- SQL knowledge.
