At Corning, there are endless possibilities for making an impact. You can help connect the unconnected, drive the future of automobiles, transform at-home entertainment, and ensure the delivery of lifesaving medicines. And so much more.
Come break through with us.
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
To support strategic engagement with NVIDIA, with a primary focus on Co‑Packaged Optics (CPO) and advanced data‑center connectivity solutions. This role will partner closely with Corning’s PCS and Data Center Business Unit (DCBU) teams and work directly with NVIDIA engineering and architecture organizations to enable system‑level design, validation, and large‑scale deployment of optical connectivity solutions.
The Sales Engineer plays a highly customer‑facing role and is critical to accelerating design wins, supporting complex CPO programs, and shaping next‑generation PCS and data‑center interconnect solutions.
Key Responsibilities
Customer & System Engagement
- Serve as Corning’s primary field technical interface to NVIDIA engineering and architecture teams.
- Lead and support system‑level architecture discussions spanning hardware platforms, CPO implementations, optical connectivity, shuffle boxes, structured cabling, and high‑density interconnect solutions.
- Engage regularly with customer teams to understand technical requirements, constraints, deployment challenges, and future roadmap direction.
CPO & PCS Technical Leadership
- Support NVIDIA programs involving Co‑Packaged Optics, including connectivity considerations beyond the package and into the system and rack level.
