GlobalFoundries

GlobalFoundries is one of the world's largest semiconductor manufacturers, producing differentiated, feature-rich chips for high-growth markets under a global foundry model. Founded in 2009, the company emerged from a partnership between AMD and the Advanced Technology Investment Company (ATIC) with the aim of becoming the world's first truly global semiconductor foundry. It employs approximately 13,000 people across 14 locations worldwide and serves more than 200 customers in the United States, Europe and Asia.

Rather than competing at the leading edge of every technology node, GlobalFoundries concentrates on specialised process technology platforms. These include FDX FD-SOI, Silicon Photonics, RF SOI and automotive-grade process technology, alongside a broader portfolio of differentiated platforms. The company positions itself as a partner to its customers, delivering process technology solutions designed to bring innovative products to market faster.

Its work is directed at a set of defined industry verticals: automotive, smart mobile devices, the Internet of Things, communications infrastructure, and aerospace and defence. GlobalFoundries frames its mission around producing essential chips that make vehicles safer, mobile devices smarter and the world more connected - a focus that shapes both its technical roadmap and the engineering, manufacturing and operations roles it recruits for across its international footprint.
