Process

I was asked to do an on-campus interview for a Test Engineer position. I was asked a series of personality questions along with questions based on my resume. I was given a technical question that took up most of the interview time.

Questions

Asked me the fundamentals of how an NMOSFET works. What happens when you drive a low signal to the gate, and what happens when you drive a high signal to the gate.

Was this helpful?

Test Engineering Review

Test Engineer • Current Employee

Dallas, Texas, United States

Pros: Excellent place to work. Flexible hours where possible, good ethical & safe work environment. Worked here for the last 11 years.

Cons: Only major semiconductor company in the DFW area. DFW is an area that does not seem to focus on public transport. TI supports a lot of options for transit, but for many job roles, self-transit is the only feasible option. This means one may have to drive 30 to 45 minutes to work.

Pros: Grow a large network. Always get challenging work. Company size means one can experience many different roles at one company. Opportunities for career growth, not only managerially but also technically.

Cons: Sometimes the politics of things can get in the way of getting the job done. Work-life balance is okay, but is largely dependent on the person in question to set his or her own balance.
