Research & Development Intern - Thin Films Material Science - Summer 2027

Corning•City of Corning, NY
•$42,510 - $82,810•Onsite

About The Position

Corning is seeking interns interested in developing experience in materials science and engineering, particularly thin-film deposition, characterization, and nano/microfabrication. The position is based at the Sullivan Park Campus in Painted Post, New York. The successful candidate will carry out a dedicated thin-films project within a small team in a microfabrication cleanroom environment. The intern will develop and design a thin-film material stack to address a technical problem, using one or more deposition platforms and appropriate characterization techniques. The work may involve collaboration with laboratory staff on additional nano/microfabrication processes. The intern will analyze experimental data, document designs and results, and share best practices to support knowledge transfer and continual improvement. The position does not support immigration sponsorship. The pay range is $1,635.00–$3,185.00 biweekly; starting pay is determined by geographic location, the nature of the position, and year in school.

Requirements

  • At least two years of bachelor's-level coursework in a science or engineering field.
  • Physical sciences or materials engineering coursework through junior year.
  • Strong attention to detail and analytical problem-solving skills, including the ability to apply first-principles engineering to novel materials challenges.
  • Ability to plan and document experimental designs and communicate them effectively to cross-functional teams.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a multidisciplinary R&D setting.

Nice To Haves

  • Hands-on experience with vacuum deposition and related metrology equipment.
  • Experience working in a cleanroom environment.

Responsibilities

  • Develop processes and design a thin-film material stack to solve a relevant technical problem.
  • Use thin-film deposition platforms such as reactive magnetron sputtering, evaporation, or chemical vapor deposition, and apply associated characterization techniques.
  • Collaborate with laboratory staff on experiments involving other nano/microfabrication techniques, such as photolithography, etching, or thermal annealing.
  • Perform statistical analysis of data to interpret results and inform subsequent experimental planning.
  • Document designs, test results, and best practices to support knowledge transfer and continuous improvement.
