Job Title

Power Development Intern (Jan - Jun 2027)

Role Summary

Join GLOBALFOUNDRIES' technology development team focused on semiconductor memory device development, with emphasis on Resistive RAM (RRAM). The intern will support device characterization, electrical testing, data analysis, and process evaluation under engineering mentorship.

This is a structured internship with one-on-one mentorship, hands-on assignments, and professional development opportunities to prepare students for careers in semiconductor manufacturing and device engineering.

Experience Level

Entry-level (Internship). Intended for current students; no prior professional experience required. The role expects a proactive learner who can work alongside engineers and follow experimental protocols.

Responsibilities

Key technical and support tasks the intern will perform:

• Participate in RRAM device characterization and electrical testing to assess switching behavior and reliability.
• Analyze electrical test data for cells and arrays (forming, set/reset, resistance window, leakage, cycling, retention, distributions).
• Support development of test methodologies, data-analysis workflows, and statistical summaries to inform experiments and optimization.
• Contribute to failure analysis and root-cause investigations by correlating process, device, and electrical data.
• Assist evaluation of RRAM stack/process options and propose improvements to performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
• Perform work in compliance with Environmental, Health, Safety & Security requirements.

Requirements

Practical and availability requirements for the internship.

Must-have

• Able to work at least 40 hours per week (full-time during the internship period).
• Available to work the internship period beginning January 2027 for approximately 16–24 weeks.
• Ability to follow experimental procedures, record data accurately, and work safely in a lab/fab environment.

Nice-to-have

• Prior related internship or co-op experience in microelectronics or device testing.
• Leadership or project experience from school projects, competitions, or work.
• Interest in semiconductor devices, CMOS technology, non-volatile memory (RRAM), wafer fab processes, and device characterization.
• Data analysis and programming skills (Python, MATLAB, JMP, Excel or similar).
• Ability to summarize technical data clearly and communicate progress to engineering teams.

Education Requirements

Actively pursuing a Bachelor's degree (undergraduate) in Physics, Materials Science, Electrical & Electronics Engineering, Microelectronics, or a related technical field. Must be in good academic standing. The position is a credit-bearing internship scheduled for roughly 16–24 weeks beginning January 2027.
