Measurements Engineer

Role Context

The Measurements organization provides measurement solutions to Corning’s Optical Connectivity business that enable Global Manufacturing to characterize products, verify compliance, and support consistent operational performance across regions.

Role title

The Measurement Engineer II applies knowledge of fiber optic manufacturing processes and measurement systems to support product testing and inspection across global manufacturing sites. This role supports technology transfers, drives measurement standardization, and acts as a technical resource to ensure measurement systems are consistently deployed and sustained across regions.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead implementation, qualification, deployment, and sustainment of measurement and inspection systems for fiber optic products across manufacturing sites in the Americas.
• Lead or support product, equipment, and technology transfers between sites and regions, ensuring measurement systems are properly defined, installed, validated, and documented for manufacturing use.
• Drive standardization of measurement methods, equipment settings, acceptance criteria, and technical documentation across sites to improve consistency and repeatability.
• Plan and execute measurement system qualification activities, including measurement system analysis, gauge repeatability and reproducibility studies, capability studies, and method correlation.
• Troubleshoot complex measurement- and equipment-related issues, perform root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions to improve reliability, reduce measurement error, and support manufacturing performance.
• Lead or support improvement initiatives related to reliability, automation, error reduction, efficiency, and operational readiness of measurement systems.
• Develop, maintain, and improve standard operating procedures, work instructions, technical specifications, qualification records, and training materials.
• Train and support engineering, maintenance, and operations teams on measurement systems, methods, standard practices, and transfer readiness.
• Collaborate with global engineering, manufacturing, quality, and suppliers to align requirements, share best practices, and ensure successful deployment and sustainment of measurement systems.
• Provide regional technical support for startup activities, escalations, and implementation issues at manufacturing sites.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Physics, Optics, Mechanics, or a related field.
• 2+ years of experience in measurements, process engineering, or a related role.
• Strong working knowledge of measurement systems and hardware used in manufacturing environments.
• Demonstrated experience with measurement system analysis, gauge repeatability and reproducibility, capability studies, and measurement standardization activities.
• Experience supporting implementation, qualification, troubleshooting, or transfer of equipment and measurement systems in manufacturing.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to independently resolve technical issues in manufacturing environments.
• Effective communication skills in English and ability to work across global and cross-functional teams.
• willingness to grow as a technical subject matter expert.
• Effective communication skills in English and ability to work with global teams.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting equipment, product or technology transfers in manufacturing.
• Familiarity with fiber optic products or inspection systems.
• 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.
• 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).
• Scientific curiosity and interest in continuous improvement.
