Internal Market Recap (Client: Corning, Quality, Remote — likely Eastern hours)

Pay Positioning

This req's candidate facing range, $21.26 to $26.39/hr, sits somewhat below the general national Medical Device Quality Assurance average of $29.29/hr ($60,925/yr), though that broader benchmark typically reflects more hands on, technical QA/QE work. This specific role is customer facing and coordination focused (triage, escalation, liaison work) rather than hands on quality engineering, and only requires 2 to 4 years of customer facing experience with a Bachelor's preferred rather than required, so this range is reasonably positioned for the actual scope of the role.

Competitive Landscape

Thermo Fisher Scientific, Becton Dickinson, Medtronic, Stryker, Boston Scientific, Abbott Laboratories, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Cytiva.

Contractor to FTE Trends

This req runs about 3 months (10/13/2026 to 01/13/2027); no strong signal either way for extension.

Selling Points and Watch Outs

• Fully remote with a choice of two shift start times, offering some schedule flexibility
• Genuinely international scope, working primarily with European customers, appealing to a candidate interested in cross regional customer work
• The posted title, "Quality Technician II," reads as a hands on technical title, but the real duties are customer facing triage, escalation, and liaison work rather than lab or manufacturing quality work. Worth confirming this framing with Corning
• This is a short, 3 month engagement with no stated conversion path, worth setting expectations early for candidates hoping for something longer term
