Interview
Applied online. Had 2 total separate interviews about 3weeks apart. First interview was both technical and behavioral. Technical part focused on gauging ur analytical and critical thinking skills from ur resume.
2nd round was 3 hours long, cycling between multiple hiring managers/engineers. 30min case study on client interaction. You will be asked technical questions based on the technology you pick so in depth knowledge is crucial. Rest of the time was technical and behavioral. Managers asked me about op-amps, and OS systems programming concepts like kernel level processes and signal handlers.

I applied online. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Santa Clara, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
The 60-minute interview was divided into two parts. The first half focused on typical behavioral questions, such as “Tell me about yourself” and “Describe a project you worked on.” In the second half, we moved into a mock scenario where I acted as a Field Applications Engineer (FAE) and the interviewers played the role of a customer experiencing an issue. My task was to diagnose and resolve their problem, and they provided hints along the way if I needed guidance. Be ready to look at a circuit schematic and understand basic analysis techniques.
