Role Purpose

• The Quality/Equipment Engineer fulfills a critical role in ensuring manufacturing lines are capable of producing industry-leading products as per design intent and business needs.
• Understanding design requirements and supplier capabilities, the Quality/Equipment Engineer interfaces with both CDT Design and our suppliers to ensure designs are 1) Capable of being fabricated and 2) Suppliers have the ability to fabricate components to our Quality standards.
• The Quality/Equipment Engineer will be critical to our success with continually developing and improving our suppliers to ensure they have the understanding and capability to produce products that meet Design intent for performance and life.
• Ultimately, this engineer will play a key role to ensure Melting/Forming equipment designs are fabricated, shipped, and installed in the field with zero rework requirements.
• This particular role has a primary focus on equipment made from steel (carbon and stainless) as well as specialty alloys and their use in Melting/Forming. 

Roles & Responsibilities

• Initially focus on understanding Melting/Forming processes and the function of the equipment required to support these processes
• Work with design engineers to institute Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) across critical components in all platforms
• Create Critical to Quality (CTQ) inspection plans to validate components meet specifications prior to being shipped 
• Collaborate with design engineers and suppliers to improve fabrication efficiencies while ensuring equipment meets requirements for performance and life 
• If issues arise in the field, pull together key representatives from critical groups to resolve the problem in the short term as well as collaborating to determine a long-term solution
• Leader in qualifying new suppliers for key equipment/materials to ensure all materials meet Corning’s requirements for application in Melting/Forming processes
• Up to 30% travel may be required (mix of international and domestic)

Experiences/Education - Required

• 0 - 2 + years of experience
• Ability to read and understand engineering prints 
• Enthusiasm to learn new technologies and expand critical engineering skills 
• Practical 3D CAD/Drafting experience and proficiency, SolidWorks experience preferred
