I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Dallas, TX) in Dec 2011
Interview
First had a phone interview consisting of behavioral questions. Second phone interview consisted of basic questions of op amps and mosfets. You defiantly need to know your basics. I was told that I would receive another phone interview afterwards because they wanted a second opinion. The interviewer was very kind and made you feel comfortable.
i did the technical interview for 1h with two senior engineers using webex for the analog design engineer role and had to annotate using the mouse so it was uncomfortable
TI Design Engineer interviews cover analog/digital fundamentals, op-amps, STA, Verilog, CMOS, memory, and embedded C. Expect problem-solving, project presentation, and behavioral questions testing depth, reasoning, and technical clarity. Other than that it was basics.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain the working of a folded cascode op-amp and analyze its noise performance.
Excellent experience being interviewed by TI. This was back in 2007-08. TI was my first ever job and I had the most fantastic experience of my life working for them
