Texas Instruments Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details Had 2 phone interviews and then onsite interview. I was asked about basic RC circuit, filters , ADC's, sampling theorem.

Interview Details Phone interview, lasted 30 minutes, with hiring manager. First 20 minutes going through back ground of the group, and my professional background. Next 40 minutes was the "Technical" portion. First question was regarding a signal crossing clock domains. how to handle this with it being a single signal. How to prevent metastability. How to handle a bus crossing clock domains. The second question was on how to implement a clock divider (by 2). then a clock divider (by-4). then an improved by-4 clock divider using a counter. Very low level stuff, but very typical of how mangers at TI like to interview. Have an onsite interview next...

Interview Details I applied through website and got a call back a few weeks later. I had a phone interview which went really well and consisted mostly on my educational background and why I like analog electronics, as well as the various things on my resume. A month later I had another phone interview with a different manager with about the same results. I was made an offer and then accepted.

Negotiation Details – No room for negotiation as it was a standard internship deal, which was good enough on its own.

Interview Details Hired after 2 years of subcontracting within Texas Instruments. Very light hiring process for me.

Interview Details Initially applied through TI website, had very technical phone interview in December, was not offered Job. Another spot opened up, and that I had prepare a 10 minute presentation to give to 2 engineers. Throughout presentation I was asked specific details of the project I worked on. Very precise.

Interview Details Was called in for an interview for Probe Supervisor and met with the Probe Lead Supervisor on a Friday morning where he bought breakfast for the two of us and we talked about my work experience. I was informed there that the position was for a compressed overnight shift and that I would also be interviewing for a supervisor position in another department within the factory. I met with the Probe Lead Supervisor, Probe superintendent, the Manufacturing superintendents (3), & the Manufacturing manager. First met with probe manager and had a casual conversation about my experience and then met his superintendent which was another casual conversation about hobbies and experiences. After that I met with the manufacturing team where I met the three manufacturing superintendents and their manager in a conference room and spoke about my experience and was asked an array of questions such as what was my most interesting experience working in hotels. I was taken on a window tour of the factory by one of the superintendents. I then met up with the Probe superintendent and he accompanied me outside. Total time of Interview was 4 hours.

Negotiation Details – After the interview process, I was called by one of the manufacturing superintendents who was showing his regard for me. Following that call, I received a call from HR asking which position I would like between Probe and Manufacturing and I chose Manufacturing. 3 days later they had put together the offer and being that I had zero semiconductor experience, they offered me base plus great benefits. Very good offer for being such a young and inexperienced applicant.
