Corning Incorporated is hiring a Solid Mechanics Modeling Engineer in Corning, NY. This is a full-time onsite role based at Sullivan Park, Corning’s flagship R&D campus, and typically works Monday–Friday, 40 hours per week, with flexibility as needed to support project objectives. Travel is expected to be limited, though occasional domestic or international travel may be required. Relocation assistance is available.

If you’re an engineer who likes using mechanics and simulation to solve real product problems — not just run models, but influence what gets built and why it works — this role offers that reach. This position sits within Corning’s modeling organization at Sullivan Park and supports a range of businesses and technologies across research, development, manufacturing support, and customer-facing engineering challenges. You’ll apply solid mechanics, finite element modeling, and topology optimization to understand how materials and structures behave, why they fail, and how to improve performance. In simple terms, this role helps Corning design lighter, stronger, more reliable products by using simulation and mechanics to guide engineering decisions.
