I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Santa Clarita, CA) in Jan 2020
Interview
College campus interview followed by online interview followed by in person interview. College campus was right after the career fair, the online interview was a 1 week from then and the in person interview was 2 weeks from then. From the college campus interview to final offer took 1-2 months.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Walked through a amplifier that I designed and general analog questions: Op-amps, bode analysis, etc. Some digital: Draw a flip flop, etc. Will question what is on your resume.
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.

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
