I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Dallas, TX) in Jan 2020
Interview
First 15 mins introduce myself through a prepared power point. Coming 15 mins, questions about the projects I introduced. Last 30 mins are 3 to 5 technical questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Small signal model of common-gate? Output impedance of ideal opamp? Circuit structure of charge pump?
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.

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
