Our Optical Communications segment has recently evolved from being a manufacturer of optical fiber and cable, hardware and equipment to being a comprehensive provider of industry-leading optical solutions across the broader communications industry. This segment is classified into two main product groupings – carrier network and enterprise network. The carrier network product group consists primarily of products and solutions for optical-based communications infrastructure for services such as video, data and voice communications. The enterprise network product group consists primarily of optical-based communication networks sold to businesses, governments and individuals for their own use. Role Purpose: Proactively maintaining quality measurement systems, including optical test and offline measurement hardware to ensure that Corning’s products meet specifications and key attributes are accurately quantified. In this role the technician will take ownership of Maximo preventive maintenance requirements for all optical test stations and manage offline gage calibrations using the GageTrak software system.
