About the Role

The Summer 2027 intern will support the development and validation of laboratory methods to detect and characterize small defects in brittle materials and multi-material structures. This involves understanding how these defects form during reliability stresses and how they can be detected through inspection, establishing the capabilities and limitations of each detection method in relation to failure mechanisms.

Responsibilities

Review literature on non-destructive evaluation, acoustic emission and ultrasonic sensing, optical inspection, and reliability mechanisms in brittle materials and electronic packaging.
Plan and run experiments, including building and calibrating sensors, data acquisition systems, and test or inspection setups.
Apply acoustic emission or other ultrasonic methods to detect, locate and time damage during thermal cycling and other reliability-related stressors.
Commission and apply a laboratory imaging system, including automated image analysis and machine vision for defect detection.
Acquire, process and analyze sensor waveforms and image data using MATLAB, Python or similar data-analysis tools.
Correlate detected events with independent ground truth from microscopy, sectioning, materials characterization and failure analysis; quantify detection thresholds, noise and false calls, and identify which damage mechanisms can and cannot be detected.
Use collected data to help calibrate physics-based modeling predictions and develop empirical reliability predictions and associated models.
Document methods so others can repeat them, follow laboratory safety practices, and communicate findings clearly in written reports and presentations.

Requirements

Currently pursuing a graduate degree (PhD preferred) in mechanical, materials, reliability, electrical or computer engineering, applied physics, optics, or a closely related field.
Research, coursework, or hands-on laboratory experience in at least one of: acoustic emission, ultrasonics or non-destructive evaluation; optical imaging or machine vision; reliability testing, life modeling or failure analysis.
Experience with signal or image processing using MATLAB, Python or similar tools.
Ability to follow laboratory safety procedures, experimental protocols, and data-documentation practices.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail and a willingness to learn new hands-on laboratory techniques.
Ability to organize, analyze, and communicate experimental results clearly in written and verbal formats.
Ability to work collaboratively with scientists and engineers while independently completing assigned tasks.
Must be available for 10 weeks during Summer 2027 (May-August 2027) with a graduation date of December 2027 or later.
Be interested in working for Corning, Inc after graduation, if presented with a full-time job opportunity.
Be willing to work at the posted job location.
