  • During the three-month Systems Engineering and Marketing rotation, learn product portfolio compatibility and how customers receive system-level solutions for product designs, gain exposure to product and PCB layouts and the production process, and develop and test and validate circuits and designs.
  • During the three-week headquarters rotation in Dallas, build a multi-level network with stakeholders in support functions, the business unit, and systems engineering, and learn to use Texas Instruments resources.

Desired Qualifications

  • Demonstrate analytical and problem-solving abilities with a results-oriented and competitive approach to work.
  • Have strong communication and presentation skills.
  • Work effectively in cross-functional teams and build strong internal and external relationships.
  • Have strong time-management skills and adapt to a changing environment.
  • For Embedded Processing Field Applications Engineer roles, have knowledge of embedded systems architecture and real-time operating system concepts, including memory management, interrupt handling, bootloaders, peripheral interfaces such as SPI, I2C, and UART, and experience with ARM Cortex-M/A architectures.
  • For Embedded Processing Field Applications Engineer roles, have experience with wireless communication protocols and stacks such as Bluetooth Low Energy and Ethernet, including integration and troubleshooting in modules and systems-on-chip.
  • For Embedded Processing Field Applications Engineer roles, use Python scripting for automation and PC-based tools, including test scripts, workflow automation, and host-side utilities for embedded development and evaluation.
  • For Embedded Processing Field Applications Engineer roles, understand schematics containing digital and analog circuits, including operational amplifiers, DC/DC power supplies, data converters, and sensing components.

About the Company

Texas Instruments

Makes analog and embedded chips in its own plants

Texas Instruments designs and makes analog and embedded processing chips, the basic parts inside cars, factory equipment, data centers, and consumer electronics, and it sells one of the broadest chip catalogs in the industry. In 1958, its engineer Jack Kilby built the first integrated circuit, the building block of modern electronics, and later won a Nobel Prize for it. Its analog chips regulate power and convert signals such as sound and heat into data, while its microcontrollers act as small built-in computers, and TI earns money selling both to device makers. It also makes the graphing calculators many students use in math class. Texas Instruments was founded in 1930 and is based in Dallas, Texas.
