Materials Development Engineer/Scientist

Corning is one of the world's leading innovators in the field of glass, ceramics, and materials science. From the depths of the ocean to the farthest corners of space, our technologies push the boundaries of what is possible.

How do we do it? Thanks to our people. They break through limitations and expectations, not only during their work but every day. They help our company and the world move forward.

At Corning, there are endless opportunities to influence reality. You can help connect what is unconnected, drive the future of automotive, transform home entertainment, and ensure the delivery of life-saving drugs. And much more.

Make a breakthrough with us.

The Corning screen technology segment leads the production of glass substrates for liquid crystal displays (LCD) with an active matrix, primarily used in televisions, notebooks, and flat monitors.

What will be your tasks:

1. Conducting and participating in projects related to new polymer materials, their research methods, and implementation in products
2. Performing tests on polymer materials (thermoanalysis, identification, and mechanical and aging studies)
3. Developing new testing methods (both proprietary and standard-based) on current and new equipment in the material laboratory
4. Preparing research reports, scientific reports, and presentations to document conducted research and find new solutions
5. Reviewing scientific literature to solve complex material problems, propose new solutions and research methods
6. Sharing results and knowledge with other groups
7. Collaborating with the global material group, engineering department, quality, and R&D

Our expectations:

1. Minimum 2 years of experience in a position related to polymer materials
2. Higher education (preferred fields: materials engineering, chemical technology, polymers, chemistry, or related)
3. Knowledge of polymer chemistry and understanding of the structure-property relationship of these materials
4. Experience in working with polymers, especially with adhesives and resins (experience with thermoplastic polymers is also desirable)
5. Very good knowledge of English and Polish allowing for fluent communication in speech and writing
6. Independence, commitment, and a proactive approach to tasks
7. Communicativeness and the ability to work in an international environment
8. Experience in characterizing polymer materials (e.g., FTIR, DMA, TMA, TGA, DSC, mechanical tests, viscosity) is desirable
