About this role
About the Role Corning seeks an experienced software engineer to develop and improve internal software tools used to design, evaluate quality, optimize performance, and ensure specification compliance for complex optical systems and components. We are working toward a more cohesive architecture across these tools and are looking for someone who can help shape technical direction across multiple applications, improve interoperability, and support long-term modernization of our internal software environment. What You'll Do
- Work on-site with a multidisciplinary team of engineers to define requirements for, develop, and improve in-house software tools used across the design, prototyping, analysis, manufacturing, and quality assurance of complex optical systems and components.
- Contribute to software architecture and technical planning across a set of related internal tools.
- Support the design and organization of databases and data pipelines for R&D, prototyping, manufacturing, and quality data, and contribute to data analysis, statistical modeling, and related quantitative tools.
- Take ownership of substantial technical scope in a small, hands-on software team, collaborating with engineers and scientists to deliver robust solutions. What We're Looking For
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a closely related field.
- 3-5+ years industry experience in software engineering, preferably in scientific, engineering, or other technical applications.
- Core competencies include compiled languages, especially in-house tooling and scientific/engineering software contexts.
- Experience developing desktop applications, command-line tools, data analysis workflows, and technical computing focused software (as distinct from customer-facing web products).
- Ability to gather requirements from engineers and scientists, contribute to technical design decisions, and implement solutions end-to-end in a small-team environment. Nice to Have
- Experience working in small teams on in-house tools, engineering or scientific software, or mixed new-and-legacy codebases. Compensation & Benefits
