About the Role
The Vacuum Equipment Systems and Controls Engineer supports Corning’s R&D environment by designing, programming, and integrating control systems for advanced vacuum and thin film processing equipment. This early-career role is centered on PLC/HMI programming, automation, and systems integration, with hands-on exposure to vacuum deposition and related technologies such as sputtering, plasma etching, and CVD. The role partners with cross-functional teams to translate process and equipment needs into reliable, safe, and effective control solutions in both cleanroom and non-cleanroom settings.
Responsibilities
- Develop, program, and maintain PLC-based control systems, including logic design, I/O configuration, and commissioning
- Design and support HMI/operator interfaces for safe and reliable control of equipment and process sequences
- Lead systems integration across sensors, instrumentation, motion control, vacuum components, and related subsystems
- Support design, development, modification, and upgrade of vacuum and thin film processing equipment
- Integrate equipment controls with facility systems such as electrical power, cooling water, process gases, and exhaust
- Perform operational testing, troubleshooting, diagnostics, and control-system-level debugging
- Improve automation, process control, safety interlocks, repeatability, and equipment performance
- Collaborate with scientists, engineers, and technicians to translate process needs into practical control and equipment solutions
- Document equipment changes, software updates, wiring details, I/O, procedures, and test results
- Provide technical support and training on equipment control systems
- Work safely in cleanroom and non-cleanroom environments and support continuous improvement efforts
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Controls/Automation Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering Technology, or a related discipline
- 0–5 years of related experience; internships, co-ops, and academic project experience applicable
- Foundational knowledge of PLC programming such as Allen-Bradley/Rockwell, Siemens, or similar platforms
- Exposure to HMI development and operator interface design
- Understanding of systems integration principles including sensors, instrumentation, motion control, and industrial communication
- Exposure to electrical schematics, control panel design, and wiring documentation
- Familiarity with electrical CAD tools such as AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical, or similar
- Exposure to mechanical CAD tools such as SolidWorks or similar
- Understanding of integrating facility systems such as electrical, cooling water, gases, and exhaust into equipment design
- Ability to support testing, troubleshooting, diagnostics, and debugging on equipment systems
- Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary R&D setting
- Internship, co-op, or professional experience in controls engineering, automation, or systems integration
- Exposure to vacuum equipment or thin film processing technologies such as sputtering, plasma etching, CVD, or related coating systems
- Exposure to semiconductor, fiber optic, optical packaging, or related high-tech equipment environments
