Thermal Process Engineer

Job description

Role Purpose

Support technology deployment, improvement, and optimization of thermal process for advanced materials and products through engineering and manufacturing in Asia. Develop thermal process engineering capabilities and competence to meeting Corning business growth in Asia.

Key Responsibilities

Design, develop, and optimize thermal processes such as heat treatment, melting, forming, firing, sintering, annealing, tempering, brazing, curing, and stress reliving. Conduct process optimization and improvement experiments and manufacturing studies. Apply statistical analysis with experimental data to pinpoint the process upset and root causes, then provide and implement the solutions. Define process parameters (POR) such as temperature profiles, time cycles, atmospheres, and cooling rates.

Conduct process validation, qualification, and capability studies (IQ/OQ/PQ, Cp/Cpk). Process engineering study and implementation of final products, final inspection, data collection, and quality controls to meet customer specifications. Transfer technology to divisions and manufacturing plants with full implementation of trainings and documentation systems. (Standard Operation Procedures, Process Set-points and Training) Support and train technicians and operators on thermal & material processes and best practices Job requires frequent periodic travel to Corning Incorporated and vendors locations in Asia and USA for process development of new products, new operation and process improvement projects.

Work with research, development and manufacturing teams for new processes and product development and introductions. Experiences/Education - Required Master’s or Ph.D. in Materials Science, Thermal Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field. 2-3 years of experience in thermal process engineering, materials processing, or related manufacturing environments. 1-3 years of experience in thermodynamics, heat transfer, materials behaviors at temperature, or phase diagrams and transformations Hands-on experience with thermal processing equipment, such as kilns, furnaces, and advanced thermal analysis tools.

Good analytical and problem-solving skills, with experience in DOE, statistical analysis, and process modeling. Basic knowledge of quality and process reliability in manufacturing. Basic analytical skill that able to process data efficiently to provide solution to problems Manufacturing and engineering experience (international/multi-cultural manufacturing-based project experiences is a plus) Acquaintance technical fundamentals with process engineering and materials Able to collaborate across organizational boundaries.

Results oriented and high level of commitment. The ability and self-driven to learn new technologies and processes quickly Proven technical presentation skills Good communication skills both verbal and written, including accurate recording of experiments, creating detailed documents, and reporting out or presentation within team. Good written and oral communications skills in English Able to collaborate with globe team in different time zones
