Our Optical Communications segment has recently evolved from being a manufacturer of optical fiber and cable, hardware and equipment to being a comprehensive provider of industry-leading optical solutions across the broader communications industry.This segment is classified into two main product groupings – carrier network and enterprise network. 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.
The position is focused on the Photonics Connectivity Solutions (PCS) business, a high-growth organization developing passive optical connectivity for next-generation AI infrastructure, including co-packaged optics. The Senior Packaging Engineer will work cross functionally with Product Line Management, Desing/ Engineering, Sourcing, Supply Chain, Logistics, Sustainability, and external suppliers to develop clean, protective, and scalable packaging solutions that meet product requirements, support manufacturing and commercialization, and improve packaging performance across the business.
Corning is a global leader in materials science, combining deep expertise in glass, ceramics, and optical physics with strong process innovation and close customer collaboration.
