Date: Apr 8, 2021
Location: Corning, NY, US, 14831
Company: Corning
Requisition Number: 45979
Corning is one of the world’s leading innovators in materials science. For more than 160 years, Corning has applied its unparalleled expertiseinspecialty glass, ceramics, and optical physics to develop products that have created new industries and transformed people’s lives.
Corning succeeds through sustained investment in R&D, a unique combination of material and process innovation, and close collaboration with customers to solve tough technology challenges.
Corning’s Environmental Technologies segment manufactures ceramic substrates and filter products for emissions control in mobile and stationary applications around the world.
Scope of Position:
The functional requirements on emissions components are getting increasingly more complex. Therefore, characterizing the product performance as well as integrating products into the application is much more essential for future optimized system solutions. The role of the Systems Design Engineer is to lead design efforts and execute test programs with an emphasis on on-engine and on-vehicle experimentation. The responsibilities include, design proposals, the development of tests and test plans, align preparations and characterization of test samples, managing the execution of the test and analyzing and interpreting the results and communicating to customers. Furthermore, the Systems and Design Engineer will develop strategy including control and modeling tools and the required tests to validate and calibrate them and utilize them for the design of system-based solutions. The typical performance aspects evaluated are pressure drop & filtration performance, emissions, thermal behavior (including regeneration behavior and survivability and durability (operating window)).
Day to Day Responsibilities:
Design Activities
Contact with customer to understand requirements
Develop design proposals (system perspective) w/ Corning products
Discuss proposal with customer
Test Planning and Development
Design test and test approaches for product and system evaluation
Understand testing objectives and provide input for the testing approach to the organization (Development, engineering, commercial)
Develop detailed test plan and communicate with testing facility
Test Execution (lab, dyno and engine)
Ensure proper execution of the test
Track samples throughout test and ensure sufficient pre and post-test characterization
Ensure implementation of proper test methods
Check data for quality
Track testing closely and provide quick feedback (within 1-2 days) to steer testing in the right direction
Focus on details and make critical observations to set new directions in projects
Troubleshooting of upcoming testing issues
Ability to supervise/execute engine dyno tests including troubleshooting of infrastructure and related equipment
Data Analysis and Interpretation
Analyze raw testing data, as well as product characterization results (Dp, FE, properties, geometry)
Check data for consistency
Verify experimental observations based on first principles and physical models
Link performance related aspects to product characteristics/attributes and/or surrogate measures
Summarize results in reports and presentation and disseminate information within organization and to customers
Develop tools, processes and test sequences to accurately and repeatedly measure PM/PN emissions
Application Integration
Develop tools and strategies to easily implement our products in the application of our customers
Develop models and tools to describe the performance of our products

Hours of work/work schedule/flextime: M-Fri 8-5pm and overtime as needed.
Required Education & Experience:
Master’s or PhD in Engineering required; Mechanical or Chemical Engineering desired
Desired: 2+ years of experience in After Treatment Design & Testing
Required Skills:
Good understanding of Chemical Engineering fundamentals (fluid flow/hydrodynamics, heat transfer, kinetics, reactions)
Rigor in experimental planning and execution as well as data analysis
Development and assessment of experimental procedures/plans
Ability to quickly understand complex testing systems (engines, dynos, emissions benches)
Familiarity with data analysis & management
Good computer skills (especially MS office) including the use of advanced analysis tools (e.g. MATLAB) are data processing capability (w/ Excel/MATLAB) and documentation/reporting of results
Customer communication skills
Desired Skills:
Essential understanding of internal combustion engines, emissions and after treatment, including the test methods
Industry experience and contacts in the area of PM/PN measurements
Ability to work on a system level
Hands-on experimental skills and experience with engine/emissions systems experimentation.
Project management skills Technical leadership skills
Soft Skills (Communication/Team/Leadership):
Good communication skills with third party vendors/customer
Ability to work self-efficient and in a team environment, including good interpersonal skills
