Introduction

GlobalFoundries is a leading full‑service semiconductor manufacturer with advanced fabrication sites across the globe. Our Dresden site (F1) develops and manufactures differentiated CMOS technologies, including 22FDX® – a key enabler for ultra‑low‑power electronics, embedded NVM, and emerging quantum applications. The Technology Architect Group (TAG) is responsible for long‑term technology pathfinding, device research, and cross‑node innovation including ferroelectric memory development, AI hardware enablement, and quantum computing concepts. We are offering a highly selective internship for students with strong technical curiosity and passion for semiconductor devices, ferroelectrics, and advanced CMOS research.
