I applied online. I interviewed at Texas Instruments (Santa Clara, CA)
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What’s the difference between a hardware and a software level interrupt? Derive the gain equation for an inverting op-amp? How does a drill work?
The interview was done through HireVue. It consists of 5 video recorded interviews, 4 written responses, and 3 multiple choice questions. The time limit can be seen, usually only 2 minutes to respond and 1 minute to prepare. The entire interview is only a single attempt
It was an online interview with a lot of theory questions that i did not prep properly. 1 hour interview. But i felt i didnt get the chance to showcase my technical capabilities.
Two interviewer joined at the same time, but one left during the interview. The other interviewer led the remaining interview process. Introduced team and position. Asked my technical experience and common behavior questions. Took approximately 45 minutes.
