Texas Instruments Work Values

Daily Duties at Texas Instruments:

* Writing directed test cases to catch expected bugs * Updating and improving test bench to execute tests with constrained random stimulus to catch unexpected bugs * Writing behavioral models for analog circuits in Verilog/VerilogA/VerilogAMS for use in test environment * Setting up automated test regressions that report code and functional coverage * Running heavily analog centric simulations used a mixture of Fast Spice simulators (Ultrasim, Nanosim) with a digital simulator (Cadence irun, Synopsys DVE) * Circuit analysis

What they like about Texas Instruments:

The social vibrance of a hiring firm is very important to you. Your ability to make and maintain friendships there is a critical part of your decision. You would likely be dissatisfied with a workplace that is quiet, cold, or otherwise not particularly social. When you investigate a new hiring company, ask recruiters, managers, and potential co-workers about the social life and opportunities there. This is especially important when you are relocating; moving dramatically alters your social sphere both inside and outside the workplace.
