I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Dallas, TX) in Oct 2016
Interview
It was a three step process. First, I had an interview on campus after talking to them at the career fair. This interview was mainly behavioral questions. Next, I had a virtual interview on HireVue that was also mainly behavioral questions and questions about my resume and projects I've worked on. It was a bit more technical than the first interview. The final step was when I was flown to Dallas for an on-site interview. On the first day I stayed at a really nice hotel and had dinner with other candidates and current Application Engineer Rotation Program people. The next day I had two, back-to-back 45 minute interviews at TI, where there were two people interviewing me at a time. These interviews were technical in nature. I also had to prepare a presentation about a project I worked on.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1st interview: Mainly behavioral questions
2nd interview: Behavioral questions and questions about my resume. A couple of technical questions that really depend on who's interviewing
1) Describe the block diagram of a Bluetooth wireless headset.
2) How would you improve the Bluetooth wireless headset?
3rd interview: Technical questions specific to my resume and presentation. My presentation had buck converters in it, so they asked me:
1) What's the purpose of the inductor and capacitor at the output?
2) How do you make the input more efficient?

Interview
3 rounds. The first was behavioral with very simple technical questions -- what's the offset voltage of an ideal op am, setup & hold time, etc.
Second was mostly behavioral
Third was behavioral with focus on my resume.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Dallas, TX) in Mar 2026
Interview
The interview process was smooth, and my interviewer was nice. About 6 or 7 technical questions and 5 behavioral asked.
Technical questions were all on op-amps and the behavioral were mostly centered around how I dealt with challenges and maybe 2 on my projects that I had on my resume.
Multiple rounds with people from different groups within the same team. It all comes down to if you can work with the manager or not. It is important to ask questions back about the state of the team and what they're looking for.
