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 Purpose
Corning is seeking an Engineering Lab Technician II to support the daily operation and maintenance of digital engineering lab tools — including virtual reality (VR) systems, 3D printing equipment, and 3D scanning tools — within a global drafting and design organization. In this role, you will ensure lab equipment is available, properly maintained, and effectively used by engineering and drafting teams across design visualization, prototyping, and physical-to-digital capture workflows. This is a Monday–Friday, standard business hours role with occasional overtime of up to 10%.
Key Responsibilities
- Set up, maintain, and support VR hardware, software, headsets, and workstations; prepare VR systems for design reviews and visualization sessions; assist users with setup, basic troubleshooting, and session readiness
- Operate and maintain 3D printer farm equipment; manage print queues, material loading, and print preparation; monitor active jobs and troubleshoot common print failures or equipment issues
- Operate 3D scanning tools to capture physical geometry; assist with scan setup, data capture, basic cleanup, and transfer of scan data in formats ready for downstream CAD workflows
