I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Texas Instruments in Apr 2011
Interview
First he asked tell me about yourself. Next question was area of interest in Digital. I told CMOS. Then he asked various questions from cmos, starting from designing of NOR gate using cmos. Rise and fall time of NOR gate. delay phenomena in inverter, threshold voltage, working of basic cmos, setup and hold time in flip flops, transmission gates, flip flop conversion, latch from mux, basic DE circuit anlysis
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They gave me a circuit and asked to find out the current with out mathematical equations and physics
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.

Question 1
Explain the working of a folded cascode op-amp and analyze its noise performance.
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
