Role Purpose
MT&E is seeking an Advanced Process Controls Engineer who believes cutting-edge controls, optimization, and machine learning (ML) can transform manufacturing and deliver competitive advantage. This is one of the most versatile technical roles at Corning, with broad scope across our businesses. The field is evolving from traditional single-input/single-output control toward complex multi-input/multi-output problems that call for model-based strategies, most notably model predictive control (MPC), and large-scale numerical optimization for production planning, scheduling, and ware flow. Corning is also investing in machine learning for process monitoring, fault detection, defect classification, and predictive maintenance.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and implement controls solutions for manufacturing processes within multi-disciplinary teams.
- Evaluate existing control strategies and propose enhancements, from PID improvements (cascade, feedforward, gain-scheduling, loop pairing) to model-based algorithms such as MPC and internal model control (IMC).
- Develop and maintain MPC-based solutions across the organization.
- Build and improve large-scale optimization models (LP, NLP, MILP) for production planning and scheduling, translating business and process logic into objectives and constraints.
- Partner with manufacturing to define appropriate hardware and software platforms and implement solutions in existing PLC/DCS environments.
- Work with subject matter experts and apply data analytics and ML to deepen process understanding and surface control or optimization opportunities.
- Apply multivariate statistics and ML to fault diagnosis and isolation, defect classification, and predictive maintenance.
- Lead projects in a research, development, and engineering environment; write proposals to initiate new work.
- Facilitate transfer of new technologies into manufacturing and train manufacturing and engineering personnel.
- Generate intellectual property through technical reports, invention disclosures, and patents.
Travel Requirements
- Must be available for significant travel, primarily domestic, to multiple locations to support business needs. International travel could be required as well. Travel up to 25%.
Experiences/Education - Required
- M.S. or PhD in Electrical, Mechanical, or Chemical Engineering (or a related field) with coursework in Advanced Controls, Optimization, or Data Analytics. PhD highly preferred.
- 1–5 years of industry experience on manufacturing processes. New graduates with related internship experience will be considered.
Required Skills
- Working knowledge of process control technologies, including MPC and PID; practical PID loop tuning experience.
- Controls-oriented modeling and system identification.
- Grounds control design in process first principles (heat/mass transfer, fluid dynamics, kinetics).
- Foundation in numerical optimization (LP, NLP, MILP, convex optimization) and ability to formulate problems from business and process logic.
- Programming experience in MATLAB/Simulink and Python.
- Familiarity with ML classification and regression techniques.
- Strong problem-solving skills; clear written and verbal communication for technical and non-technical audiences.
- Comfortable working in a manufacturing environment.
- Self-directed and collaborative; delivers on commitments.
Desired Skills
- Hands-on experience implementing, tuning, and maintaining MPC.
- Experience with large-scale optimization solvers (e.g., Gurobi) and modeling languages (Pyomo, AMPL, PuLP).
- Multivariate statistical process control methods such as PCA and PLS regression.
- Experience operationalizing ML-driven models in manufacturing.
- Git and version control.
- Experience in or leading cross-functional and global teams.
- Strong technical curiosity and appetite for hard technical problems.
This position supports immigration sponsorship.

Which companies sponsor visas for electrical controls engineers in New York?
Siemens, ABB, Eaton, and General Electric have active presences in New York and have historically sponsored work visas for electrical controls engineers. Utility companies such as Con Edison and National Grid also hire controls engineers and have sponsored H-1B visa petitions. Defense contractors operating on Long Island, including L3Harris and Northrop Grumman, are additional employers worth researching in this space.
Which visa types are most common for electrical controls engineer roles in New York?
The H-1B is the most common visa category for electrical controls engineers in New York, as the role typically qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a closely related field. The O-1A is an option for engineers with documented exceptional achievements. Multinational engineers transferring within a company may be eligible for the L-1B for specialized knowledge workers.
Which cities in New York have the most electrical controls engineer sponsorship jobs?
Buffalo leads in manufacturing-related controls engineering roles, supported by automotive supply chain and food processing industries. Long Island concentrates defense, aerospace, and utility controls positions. The Capital Region around Albany and Schenectady has a long industrial and energy history tied to GE and newer cleantech employers. New York City itself has a smaller but active market tied to building systems, infrastructure, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
How to find electrical controls engineer visa sponsorship jobs in New York?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for international engineers seeking visa-sponsored roles in the U.S. You can filter directly for electrical controls engineer positions in New York, seeing only employers open to sponsorship. This saves significant time compared to sorting through general postings with no sponsorship indication. Migrate Mate also provides context on visa pathways relevant to engineering roles, helping you understand what to expect before applying.
Are there any New York-specific factors electrical controls engineers should know about visa sponsorship?
New York's prevailing wage requirements under H-1B rules are set at the regional level, meaning wages benchmarked to the New York City metro differ substantially from those in Buffalo or Albany. Employers must file a Labor Condition Application reflecting the correct geographic wage tier for where the work is actually performed. Engineers placed at client sites across multiple New York locations should confirm their employer's LCA covers each worksite region.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored electrical controls engineer jobs in New York?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
