Texas Instruments Software Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

Texas Instruments (TI) has a tough, technical interview process. They clearly separate Hardware/Electrical Engineering roles from Software/Embedded roles. It usually takes about 2-4 weeks to get an offer after applying. First, you apply and might get an online test (like HackerRank) with logic, math, and role-specific technical stuff. Then, there's a 30-45 minute screening call with a recruiter or manager to go over your resume, see if you're into TI, and ask some basic technical questions. Next are 2-3 technical interview rounds, either online or in person, where you'll really dive into your skills. You might code on screen or draw diagrams. For many engineering jobs, you'll also need to give a 15-20 minute presentation about a past project to a panel, who will question your choices and results. Lastly, there’s a behavioral/fit interview, sometimes with the technical rounds or as a final step, focusing on TI’s values and how you work.

It was only a single round interview for Summer Internship. Some of the questions asked to me during interview are :- Introduce Yourself Difference between C and C++ OOPs concept - 4 pillars and benefits DSA - MergeSort What is h1 tag in HTML? Difference between DML and DDL. Write one statement for DDL. Difference between unique and primary key Explain me one of your project which you felt was most challenging for you and why Further Grind on the project like why this API, how this API is used and all

So the interview process was pretty standard. First, there was a recruiter call, I think that's the first stage. Then, they asked a bunch of behavior questions based on my resume. These covered things like my favorite and least favorite projects, my internship experience, any obstacles I'd faced, the accomplishment I'm most proud of, how I think one can succeed, my 5-year career plan, what tech areas I find challenging, and why I'm applying for this specific role. On top of that, there was an easy coding problem.
