Desired Skills: * Hands-on experience with designing and conducting experiments, and instrumentation handling (operation, calibration, troubleshooting, optimization). * Good understanding of thermal and chemical engineering fundamentals (fluid flow/hydrodynamics, thermodynamics, heat transfer, kinetics, reactions, or mechanics of materials), will consider internship project experience. * Master's degree of PHD degree is a plus with no working experince, will consider internship experince. * Experience with data acquisition systems, telemetry, and large dataset handling using statistical tools (e.g., JMP, Minitab, Tableau). * Familiarity with a broad range of measurement techniques and instrument technologies. * Knowledge of system controls and basic programming skills. * Understanding of ceramic materials and their thermo-mechanical behavior. * Project management skills, with the ability to manage all aspects of a testing project independently. Physical Requirements: * Ability to work in laboratory, mobile lab, and in-field testing environments. * Ability to work safely around testing equipment and instrumentation under a variety of operating conditions., The ideal candidate combines engineering rigor with strong hands-on capability. They take pride in equipment ownership, enjoy practical work, and are equally comfortable analyzing complex datasets and troubleshooting instrumentation across diverse testing environments. They are adaptable, detail-oriented, and committed to producing high-quality, dependable test results regardless of the specific application or test setting. ## Description The Testing Engineer is responsible for executing test programs that combine hands-on experimentation across a wide range of testing applications and environments, and rigorous data analysis. The role spans the full testing lifecycle - from planning and instrumentation setup through execution, data analysis, and results communication - while ensuring the readiness, calibration, and reliable operation of the test laboratory and supporting equipment. The engineer will also design and integrate new measurement methods and instrumentation, including the associated calibration and system validation work, and will collaborate with development, engineering, and commercial teams to deliver test results that directly inform product and system design decisions., * Customer Interaction: Understand internal and external customer requirements and develop design proposals using Corning products. * Test Planning & Development: Stay current with relevant industry standards, regulations, and measurement requirements. Develop and execute product and system evaluation tests, define testing approaches, and generate tools, processes, and test sequences to repeatedly measure key product characteristics. * Test Infrastructure: Take ownership of the overall condition, readiness, and functionality of the testing laboratory environment. Maintain, troubleshoot, and calibrate complex testing instruments to ensure reliable, repeatable results, and support safe work practices throughout lab and field operations. * Test Execution: Operate project-specific test equipment. Execute in-lab or real-world, in-field testing programs. Troubleshoot testing and infrastructure issues in real time and provide prompt feedback to steer projects in the right direction. * Data Analysis: Analyze raw test data and product characterization results, ensuring data integrity and consistency. Verify observations against first principles and physical models, make critical observations that inform project direction, and summarize findings in clear reports and presentations for internal and customer audiences. Work Schedule and Travel: * Travel up to 20-25%, for 1-2 weeks at a time, mostly across North America. * Flexibility to work occasionally early mornings, nights, and weekends when testing schedules require. ## Related Videos - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [Dirty Tests And How To Clean Them](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/515-dirty-tests-and-how-to-clean-them) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Watch Tests Go Brrrr! : Getting Started with Cypress in ReactJS](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/282-watch-tests-go-brrrr-getting-started-with-cypress-in-reactjs) - [Stop Guessing, Start Measuring: Evaluating RAG Systems with Synthetic Test Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1982-stop-guessing-start-measuring-evaluating-rag-systems-with-synthetic-test-data) ## Related Articles - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Software Engineer Career: Things You Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/143-software-engineer-career-things-you-should-know) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london)
