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
