## Description

Corning is seeking a Quality Systems Engineer to develop, implement, and continuously improve a scalable, risk-based Quality Management System (QMS) for pilot-line operations. This foundational role will establish the quality infrastructure-including document control, corrective and preventive action (CAPA), and audit readiness-needed to support a growing manufacturing environment. The successful candidate will help foster prevention-focused quality practices across cross-functional teams., * Develop, implement, and manage core QMS processes for new pilot-line and manufacturing operations, including document control, change control, CAPA, complaint handling, and training record management.

 * Lead root-cause analyses and CAPA investigations, leveraging data and trend analysis to implement systemic preventive actions and reduce process risk.
 * Partner with Engineering, Operations, and Manufacturing to integrate risk-based quality tools-including Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), process mapping, and control plans-into day-to-day pilot-line activities.
 * Maintain audit readiness and support internal, customer, and regulatory audits, including preparation, facilitation, resolution of findings, and timely follow-up.
 * Monitor QMS performance through metrics and leading indicators, identifying opportunities to drive continuous improvement and ensure scalability as the pilot line expands.
