Engineering WSDegree Intern – Process Engineer (Test Engineering)
Role Description
### **About GlobalFoundries**
GlobalFoundries is a leading full-service semiconductor foundry providing a unique combination of design, development, and fabrication services to some of the world’s most innovative technology companies. With a global manufacturing footprint spanning three continents, GlobalFoundries enables the technologies that transform industries and empower customers to shape their markets.
### **Role Summary**
GlobalFoundries Singapore is seeking highly motivated **Engineering WSDegree Interns** to support **Test Engineering** within a high-volume semiconductor manufacturing environment. This internship provides progressive exposure to semiconductor testing fundamentals, data-driven quality and yield monitoring, and continuous improvement, culminating in a Final Year Project (FYP) aligned with real manufacturing and product test challenges.
**Key Responsibilities**
------------------------
### **Block 1: Foundational Learning \& Exploration**
* Learn semiconductor manufacturing fundamentals and the end-to-end product flow from wafer fabrication through electrical testing
* Understand the role of test engineering in ensuring product quality, reliability, and customer requirements
* Learn cleanroom and lab safety standards, protocols, and factory operations basics
* Gain exposure to test flow concepts, test limits/specifications, and basic test metrics
* Become familiar with MES, data systems, and engineering workflows used in manufacturing and test operations
* Job shadow Test Engineers to understand daily operational support, monitoring, and problem-solving activities
### **Block 2: Test Data Analysis \& Problem Solving**
* Support monitoring of test performance using key indicators (e.g., yield, bin trends, parametric shifts, and fallout signatures)
* Perform data analysis to identify trends, anomalies, and potential test or product issues
* Apply statistical methods (e.g., SPC) to detect excursions and support process stability
* Assist with basic troubleshooting of test-related issues (e.g., correlation checks, limit reviews, retest investigations)
* Support documentation of findings and communication of results to cross-functional stakeholders
### **Block 3 \& Final Year Project (FYP): Engineer‑in‑Training Development**
* Define FYP scope, objectives, and deliverables with an assigned industrial mentor
* Execute an FYP focused on test improvement, test data analytics, yield enhancement, or stability optimization
* Conduct structured studies (and where applicable, DOE / A-B comparisons) to validate improvement ideas
* Develop recommendations to improve test robustness, reduce test escapes, improve yield, or optimize test efficiency
* Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives supporting cost, quality, productivity, or cycle time
* Complete the FYP under guidance of an assigned industrial mentor
**Skills \& Experience Gained**
-------------------------------
### **Technical Skills**
* Understanding of semiconductor test fundamentals and manufacturing flow
* Knowledge of yield/test metrics, basic failure signatures, and test stability concepts
* Data analysis, SPC, and structured root cause / problem-solving approaches
* Exposure to test methodologies, specifications/limits concepts, and quality systems
### **Soft Skills**
* Technical communication, reporting, and presentation skills
* Collaboration across cross-functional teams (manufacturing, process, yield, quality, product)
* Exposure to AI and Machine Learning concepts applied to test/manufacturing data analytics
### **Practical Experience**
* Hands-on experience supporting real production test monitoring and investigations
* Project ownership within a high-volume semiconductor environment
* Networking opportunities across engineering teams and manufacturing leadership
**Required Qualifications**
---------------------------
* Enrolled in a **Mechanical, Electrical, Electronics, Computer Engineering, or related Engineering degree**
* Strong analytical and data-driven problem-solving mindset
* Curious, detail-oriented, and eager to learn in a fast-paced environment
* Strong time management and organizational skills
* Effective communication skills and ability to work well in teams
**Additional Information**
--------------------------
* This requisition is **exclusively for students enrolled in the WSDegree Programme (2026 intake)**
* **Internship period must be clearly stated** in the CV, resume, or cover letter
