Digital Engineer

About the Role The Digital Engineer will help design, develop, and implement Corning's plant digital and automation strategy across multiple manufacturing plants. This role aims to deliver transformative cost reductions while improving quality and process capability, working with operations, supply chain, and finance to deploy projects in manufacturing. What You'll Do

• Design, develop, and implement solutions for manufacturing which leverage latest digital technologies including data analytics and programming technologies.
• Evaluate existing control strategies and propose enhancements. Optimize or retrofit existing processes through modern control strategies such as optimal control, robust control, adaptive control, or model predictive control.
• Work closely with manufacturing to define appropriate controls hardware platforms/systems for implementing process control solutions.
• Develop and apply process controls skills to implement solutions in PLC/DCS/BPS (C-based controls) environments.
• Develop in-depth knowledge of existing processes to identify process control optimization opportunities and write proposals to initiate control projects.
• Work with process subject matter experts and apply process data analysis skills to gain fundamental understanding of manufacturing processes.
• Work closely with experienced professionals in multi-disciplined teams to design, develop and implement solutions for manufacturing processes.
• Utilize statistical analysis to design for process capability.
• Lead projects and work in a multi-disciplinary research, development, and engineering environment to identify opportunities for advanced controls.
• Leverage optimization techniques to improve process performance and efficiency.
• Facilitate the transfer of new process control technologies into manufacturing and provide training to manufacturing and engineering personnel.
• Document process control finding in technical reports. Generate intellectual property through invention disclosures and patent applications. What We're Looking For
• BS/MS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering.
• Minimum 1-4 years industry experience (preferred within manufacturing).
• Experience with PLC/DCS/BPS (C-based controls), data analytics, and developing/managing process control projects.
• Ability to work in multi-disciplinary teams and communicate effectively with operations, supply chain, and finance.
• Strong problem-solving skills and willingness to learn and implement latest digital and automation technologies.
