- Familiarity with physical testing methods (stress/strain characterization) even though the role is modeling focused.
Purpose of the Position:
As a Scientist/Engineer you are responsible for modeling of new processes and/or process conditions for improved product attributes or reduced cost for glass and/or ceramic substrates and filters. You will be expected to develop modeling/analytical tools or utilizing existing tools to gain fundamental understanding of underlying principles. You need a strong foundation in solid mechanics and a high level of expertise in numerical modeling. Our team requires excellent communication and interpersonal skills for working with globally distributed researchers engineers in our commercial organizations and customers. The Process Simulation Engineer supports Cornings modeling group by conducting advanced solid mechanics modeling and simulation to improve product reliability and process understanding. The engineer will translate real-world loads tests and forming processes into mathematical and computational models using finite element analysis (FEA) tools. Outputs of the analyses will help predict stresses strains deformation process feasibility and product reliability across various applications (consumer electronics automotive glazing etc.). The role collaborates closely with testing and characterization teams but remains primarily modeling focused.
Day to Day Responsibilities:
In this role you will be responsible for modeling of new processes and/or process conditions for improved product attributes or reduced cost for glass and/or ceramic substrates and filters with an expectation of developing modeling/ analytical tools or utilizing existing tools to gain fundamental understanding of underlying principles.
