RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Leading and supporting projects to develop melting technologies to improve process performance through yield improvements, higher throughput, and longer system life. Collaborate with design engineers, materials engineers, R&D, and plant operations through different stages of project work.

- Lead and support trials of melting technologies in manufacturing plants. Report and communicate to managers and partners during trials: status, issues, trouble-shooting plans.

- Lead technical assessments and data analyses to find opportunities for process and equipment improvement and to evaluate technology trials.

- Design and implementation of process experiments.
TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS:
- We anticipate travel to be 20 – 25%, primarily to Asia and Corning NY.
WORKING HOURS:
- Office hours are typically 8AM-5PM Monday-Friday.

- Evening conference calls with teams in Asia (typically between 8PM – 10PM) are sometimes required. Frequency of these meetings depend on project assignment.

- Weekend work and/or travel is sometimes required
REQUIRED SKILLS:
- 5+ years prior work experience (Glass melting experience highly desired)

- We need you to have a technical curiosity, seeking information needed to become a glass melting expert.

- Strong technical skills with the ability to learn and apply defect formation mechanisms, understanding of heat and mass transfer, and understanding of materials thermodynamics and kinetics.

- Analytical skills – use rigorous data analysis and distill into concise results.

- Problem-solving – ability to handle technical challenges using rigorous, scientific methodology.

- MS Office computing skills (Word, PowerPoint, Excel).
DESIRED SKILLS:
- Glassmaking or other high temperature continuous process experience.

- New product/process development or scale up experience.

- Statistical analysis skills and/or experimental design experience.

- Project leadership skills – vision, planning, and execution.
EDUCATION / EXPERIENCE:
- B.S. in Engineering – Glass Science/Ceramic Engineering, Materials Science/Engineering or Chemical Engineering preferred.

- We prefer an advanced degree in Engineering, but this is not a requirement.
SOFT SKILLS:
- We are looking for strong interpersonal skills – interact across all parts of the organization (operators, trades, engineers, scientists, managers).

- Strong written and verbal communication skills – effectively and efficiently communicate technical work to a broad range of partners

- We encourage taking responsibility for your own development – adapt to new situations and seek opportunities that continually grow engineering skills

- Ability to work in a diverse project team environment, leading or supporting technical projects. Longer term career interest in technical or project leadership.
