I applied through university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Texas Instruments
Interview
Apply thru college career fair.
- Got campus interview the day after the career fair. Almost all behavioral questions. Talk a little bit about my project on resume.
- 3 weeks later got a virtual interview thru internet. Again, almost all basic behavioral questions. Only 2 "technical questions" asking about voltage divider and basic RC circuit. Also, they required me to prepare a 10 min presentation for whatever topic I like. I talked about my senior design project. The manager asked a lot of questions regarding to it.
- One month After the virtual interview I received an email indicating that my interview went well and next step will be onsite interview. It took about 2 month to schedule and reschedule for it. During onsite interview there are also a lot of behavioral questions. I think this is because this role is not so "technical" so that they rather like to see how could you deal with problems.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the most difficult course you have taken? How did you deal with it?
Provide an example on a certain course or project that you didn't do as well, explain why.
First started with behavioral questions then technical questions. Some technical questions they asked were op amps, RC circuits and coding question. Technical questions were pretty basic and interviewer was pretty nice.
One initial contact at a job fair, then one video call like zoom but using TI’s system, where your screen is shared and you present a project that you’ve worked on, and the last step was an in-person interview in Dallas, where they pay for the flight, the car, accommodations and meals. The last interview had two rounds, one behavioral and one technical.

Question 1
They asked me to draw the truth tables of some simple logic gates: AND, NOR, etc…
Four rounds of interviews, two were by yourself and two were in person. First was a behavioral exam. For in-person basic technical questions were asked followed by a presentation about yourself.
