Pay: Starting at $38.09/hour, with top rate of $40.65/hour

Company: Corning Incorporated

Build the Future with Corning

At Corning, innovation starts with the people who turn ideas into reality. We are seeking a skilled Machinist to join our Sullivan Park Research & Development team, where you will help fabricate prototype parts, tools, and equipment that support cutting-edge technology development.

This is not a high-volume production role. This is R&D machining in a highly innovative environment, where precision, creativity, and problem-solving come together to support new technologies and breakthrough ideas.

If you take pride in building complex, high-quality parts and enjoy working on unique projects, this is an opportunity to do meaningful work with advanced equipment in a world-class development setting.

What You'll Do:
  • Fabricate and assemble prototype parts and equipment for research and development projects.
  • Set up and operate a variety of CNC and manual machines, including:
  • CNC Lathes.
  • 3-axis and 5-axis CNC Mills.
  • Wire EDM.
  • Surface Grinders.
  • Drill Presses.
  • Manual Lathes.
  • Manual Mills.
  • Straight Vertical Milling Machines.
  • Write, edit, and modify machine programs to meet design specifications and quality standards.
  • Read and interpret blueprints, engineering drawings, and technical specifications.
  • Inspect finished parts using precision measuring equipment.
  • Troubleshoot machining and process issues.
  • Perform routine maintenance on machines and equipment.
  • Work closely with designs, ideas, and prototype concepts to bring new technology to life.


What We're Looking For

Required:
  • High School Diploma or GED.
  • One of the following:
  • 4 years of applicable machine shop experience or military equivalent.
  • Journeyman or Class "A" status.
  • 2-year Machine Tool Technology degree.
  • Certificate in a relevant field with at least 1 year of experience.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
  • Strong attention to detail, craftsmanship, and problem-solving ability.


Preferred:
  • Experience with Mastercam, SolidWorks, or NC programming software.
  • 5-axis machining experience.
  • Experience with Haas, Mazak, Fanuc, or similar controls.

If you have strong machining fundamentals but do not have 5-axis or programming experience, we still encourage you to apply. We are willing to train the right candidate.

Why This Role Stands Out:
  • Work in Research & Development, not repetitive production.
  • Support cutting-edge technology and prototype development.
  • Use advanced tooling and equipment.
  • Join a highly skilled team in an innovative, collaborative environment.
  • Gain opportunities for training and skill development.
  • Build parts and equipment that help shape the future of technology.


Additional Job Information:
  • 2nd shift: 2:00 PM - 10:00 PM.
  • 720 hour working probationary period.
  • Production and Maintenance employees are represented by USW Local 1000.
  • A basic demonstration of skills is required.


Compensation & Benefits:
  • Starting pay: $38.09/hour.
  • Top pay: $40.65/hour.
  • Compensation and benefits are provided in accordance with the applicable Collective Bargaining Agreement.


Hiring Process:
  • The hiring process begins when you submit a completed application and resume.
  • Qualified candidates will be asked to complete an onsite interview and hands-on testing.
  • The final stage includes background checks, a physical assessment, and drug testing.
  • This position does not support immigration sponsorship.
