Résumé du poste

Corning is seeking a Senior Staff Engineer, Glass Melting System Design to join our Materials Conversion team at Sullivan Park in Corning, NY. This is an onsite, Monday-Friday role with travel up to 10%, and 20-40% travel during pilot and startup activities at global locations.

You will design lab-scale prototype melters, research-scale melters, and pilot platforms from concept through commissioning. You will apply glass science and high-temperature materials knowledge to deliver quality and

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Materials Science, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Electrical Engineering with 10+ years of hot-glass or steel industrial design experience; or a master’s degree or PhD with 7+ years of relevant experience.
• Ability to perform engineering design calculations, including scaling analyses for melting systems.
• Experience using material properties to evaluate heat loss, heat transfer, power, expansion, stress, and failure under load.
• Experience designing direct-heated precious-metal systems with high-temperature expansion and stress minimization.
• Experience with direct-heated glass melters, batch-feeding technologies, current density, and melter geometry considerations.
• Deep understanding of glass properties and their effect on melting equipment and glass quality.

Responsabilités

• Assess melting, fining, and delivery behavior of new glass compositions to develop melt concepts.
• Lead engineering design of lab-scale prototypes, research-scale melters, and pilot platforms.
• Perform engineering design calculations, including scaling analyses.
• Apply glass science, material compatibility, heat transfer, and differential expansion to inform designs.
• Use modeling and experiments to evaluate melting-system performance.
• Collaborate with technicians, designers, and cross-functional partners throughout development.
