.Requisition Number: 64991Corning is vital to progress – in the industries we help shape and in the world we share. We invent life-changing technologies using materials science. Our scientific and manufacturing expertise, boundless curiosity, and commitment to purposeful invention place us at the center of the way the world interacts, works, learns, and lives. Our sustained investment in research, development, and invention means we're always ready to solve the toughest challenges alongside our customers.Our Optical Communications segment has recently evolved from being a manufacturer of optical fiber and cable, hardware and equipment to being a comprehensive provider of industry-leading optical solutions across the broader communications industry. This segment is classified into two main product groupings – carrier network and enterprise network.The carrier network product group consists primarily of products and solutions for optical-based communications infrastructure for services such as video, data and voice communications. The enterprise network product group consists primarily of optical-based communication networks sold to businesses, governments and individuals for their own use.Role PurposeServe as a global process owner responsible for the alignment, performance improvement and optimization of OCS cable processes. The individual will identify and execute process improvement, small (A Band) to medium (A to B Band) size cost reductions, and capability enhancement projects in support of the process improvement roadmap. The individual will also support plant engineering and operations to deliver manufacturing improvement initiatives, including variability reduction, defect reduction, and process control improvement. The employee will review plant process changes to assess for global application and support the plant in monitoring process performance. This will be done through development of deep knowledge of why the process works, process capability, performance, and control methodology.Key ResponsibilitiesIndividual contributor, lead or team member with ownership of a part of the accomplishment within Business Unit/Area, Plant.Manage small - moderate scope projects with multiple variables, unclear solutions, and many stakeholders.Evaluate process cost, quality, and capability alternatives; institute continuous improvements to existing manufacturing operations through application of sound scientific methods.Plan, organize and execute work-streams on projects to deliver process improvement and step change capabilities.Role includes individual contributor and project work-stream leadership responsibilities as necessary.Work with and facilitate alignment between manufacturing, development, and upstream process experts to deliver step change and improvement of cable processes.Manage internal Corning resources to complete project deliverables.Apply knowledge of engineering principles and methods to resolve challenges
