Technical Coding

I came to college for an Internship. Applied through the college portal. The first written test happened, and after that, selected candidates were taken for an interview. The written test had both aptitude and technical parts. Then, after clearing it, the interview happened another day in online mode. They were asking questions one by one. As you proceed, you have to draw the waveforms on the digital screen during the meeting, and they will check your thinking and approach to the solution.

Technical Coding Behavioral Presentation

So, for an Analog Engineer at TI, it's kinda a few steps. First, they look at your resume to see if you're good with electronics and analog stuff. Then, there's usually a phone or video call where they grill you on analog design basics, like op-amps and transistors, and how you solve problems. Sometimes, they might give you a take-home test or an online assessment to design circuits or do simulations. The big one is the on-site interviews, which can be a whole day. You'll have technical chats focusing on circuit design, problem-solving, and maybe even some hands-on lab work. They also do behavioral interviews to see if you'll fit in and work well with others. Lastly, you'll chat with managers or senior folks about your goals and how you'd fit into the team. If all goes well, you get an offer, and sometimes they even give feedback if it doesn't work out.

Behavioral Technical

So the process started with like a recruiter call, I think, and then there was a technical screen and then finally an onsite with the manager. The manager was super experienced. They first asked me to introduce myself. Then, they dove into my resume and projects, asking for details about them. After that, it was a mix of behavioral and technical questions.

Confirmed questions2 questions
  • Could you elaborate on the SAR ADC design flow and its specifics?
  • Can you walk me through the design flow for a SAR ADC and the associated details?
