Scope of Position:
Primary function is to lead slurry coating activities within the Application Fundamental ETD program. The role of this individual is to develop into a subject matter expert in slurry coating of CET products, the process used to deposit such coatings and corresponding performance testing. A second area of responsibility for this position will be to oversee product characterizations (e.g. microscopy, SEM, material properties, etc.) and perform failure mode analysis of provided samples. Creating and maintaining a database of results and clearly reporting findings via reports to internal and external teams. This task will require significant collaboration with colleagues around the world. The successful candidate will be comfortable working with technical product development groups, research scientists, all Corning R&D labs, engineering, commercial and possibly supply chain partners.
