Corning is seeking a Staff Chemical Engineer to join our team in Corning, NY. This role is primarily onsite, with relocation assistance provided, and requires willingness to travel. Travel averages up to 50% annually, with fluctuations depending on project stage and business needs, and is primarily domestic with possible occasional international travel.

Chemistry plays a critical role in many of Corning's most advanced technologies. This role offers the opportunity to work across a wide variety of products, processes, and business areas where chemical engineering helps shape how materials are developed, scaled, improved, and supported in manufacturing. Depending on the project, the work may touch areas such as fiber optics, display and specialty glass, environmental technologies, Life Science Technologies, and other advanced materials applications. It is a strong fit for someone who enjoys technical variety, hands-on problem solving, and using chemical engineering fundamentals to help move ideas from development into real-world processes and products. The successful candidate will contribute to process and product optimization initiatives, while performing rigorous process safety and hazard analyses (e.g., PHA/HAZOP) to ensure adherence to Corning's safety stewardship standards and environmental health and safety compliance requirements.
