Summary of Role:

GlobalFoundries’ RF Technology Development team is seeking a summer 2027 engineering intern who enjoys writing code and automating complex engineering workflows. In this hands-on role, you will own real deliverables with support from a named mentor, work within live technology development projects, and build scripts and tools that improve how the team creates, checks, and releases test structures, process design kits, design manuals, test-site data, and verification decks.

Essential Responsibilities include:

• Write and

  maintain

  Python, Shell, and

  Tcl

  scripts that automate design manual generation, ground-rule validation builds, PDK builds, releases, and regression checks.

• Build internal tools and dashboards that

  consolidate

  spreadsheets and

  logs

  into a current view of project status.

• Automate data extraction and reporting from test-site, design-manual, and verification sources to reduce manual data entry and improve consistency.

• Develop and extend regression test

  suites

  so kit and deck changes are validated automatically before release.

• Improve version-control and

  continuous-integration

  practices through repeatable builds, code review, and reusable scripts.

• Translate complex manual engineering workflows into documented automation that can be

  maintained

  and reused by the team.

• Own assigned deliverables, collaborate with engineering stakeholders, and present project results to the broader technology development organization at the end of the internship.

Other Responsibilities:

• Perform all activities in a safe and responsible manner and support all Environmental, Health, Safety & Security

  requirements

  and programs.

Required Qualifications:

• Education – At least a sophomore at time of application and actively pursuing a Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field through an accredited degree program during the time of internship.

• Must have at least an overall 3.0 GPA and be in good academic standing.

• Language Fluency - English (Written & Verbal)

• Ability to work at least

  40 hours

  per week during the internship.

• Comfortable writing Python and able to read and debug code written by others.

• Familiarity with Linux, command-line environments, and version control using Git.

• Demonstrated interest in programming through personal projects, open-source contributions, competitions, research, coursework, or independently developed automation.

• Ability to break down a loosely defined manual process into clear steps and implement those steps in code.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Prior related internship or co-op experience

• Demonstrated prior leadership experience in the workplace, school projects, competitions, etc.

• Strong interest in

  leveraging

  AI tools and emerging technologies to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and support effective decision-making.

• Project management skills, i.e., the ability to innovate and

  execute on

  solutions that matter; the ability to navigate ambiguity.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills

• Strong planning & organizational skills

• Exposure to

  semiconductor device physics, VLSI

  design, or

  layout and CAD tool flows.

• Scripting experience with

  Tcl

  , SKILL, Perl, or Shell in addition to Python.

• Experience with data-handling libraries such as pandas

  or with

  plotting and dashboard tools.

• Exposure to

  continuous integration, test automation, or build systems.

• Curiosity about semiconductor manufacturing and technology development; prior industry experience is not

  required

  .
