As a global glass manufacturer, we are committed to considering the future in all we do, and a successful innovation Electrical R&D Engineer will be focused on developing more sustainable glass melting designs and glass delivery processes. The new and more sustainable designs will enable higher reliance on renewable energy and efficiency through joule heating and radiant heating of molten glass. The net result will provide competitive advantage through step change process advancements, reduce in half the negative impact of glass melting operations and enable Owens Corning to meet 2030 Corporate sustainability objectives. The outcome will eliminate reliance on non-renewable energy but not limited to natural gas, fuel oil, coke, diesel, propane, and LPG. Success will require facilitating, collaborating, developing, and implementing new electrical glass manufacturing designs with support from technical experts as well as with Corporate leadership.
