Basic Information

  • Curriculam: DD
  • Name: Keshav Maheshwari
  • Current Year of Study : 4th
  • Year of Internship: 2025
  • **Role during Internship **: Analog Design Engineer
  • Duration: 2 months
  • What kind of roles/companies were you primarily aiming for?: Being a Dual Degree student, the main opportunities available were from core Electrical. So, I primarily aimed for that

    Motivations

    Among the choices that I had, namely Digital, Signals, embedded and Analog, I only applied for Analog because I liked EE204 and things seemed more intuitive than other fields. Also, the company that I was targeting (Texas Instruments) specialised in Analog domain as well.

Resources

Prof. Rajesh Zele’s CDEEP lectures, ‘Design of Analog CMOS IC’ by Razavi, previous year questions and YouTube videos of mock interviews

Main Topics

EE204 Focus on RC, RLC circuits and if you have any Analog projects on your Resume in any specific topics like Op-Amps or BJTs, then be thorough with it.

Selection process

Test, with aptitude and technical questions Interview- typically 45 minutes with mostly technical questions, a bit of HR for 4-5 minutes

Road-blocks

There were hurdles in the sense that TI comes later than day 1, and when you see your friends getting interns before you, it might feel a bit dejecting to still be looking for one. But eventually it all pays off.

Work during internship

Worked on input power protection module for next gen motor drivers. Work was related to Analog circuit design and testing. Involved a lot of simulations and use of Cadénce to analyse circuits. Really large scale circuits are thrown at you to be understood and worked upon from day 1, but that’s the beauty of it, the challenge.

Overall Internship Experience

Excellent. It was a complete package, great work culture, supportive peers and seniors, helpful mentors, intresting projects, methodical and systematic review process, decent food and living experience, and highly motivated co-interns.

Networking opportunities

Yes! I made friends with almost everyone in the motor driver business unit whom I came in contact with. Everyone is helpful and they’ll support you with everything they can.

Reccomended or not

Yes, definetly recommended experience. Although it’s only for those who know they’ll go for core electrical engineering. Because the perks after the internship seem to outweigh those during the internship.

Advice

Keep your head clear during the interview. Don’t write anything in your resume which you can’t defend. Make sure your whatever you say in the interview you are completely sure of (like even physics concepts from JEE)
