Basic Information

• Name: Aarya Rajani Krishna
• Branch: BTech
• Company: Texas Instruments
• Duration: 2 months

Domain Targeted

Core companies, since I am interested in the domain of analog and digital.

Specifically the analog and digital core courses and labs we had done, and also the course VLSI design which I took up in my fifth semester- they made me realize I am interested in hardware.

Preparation Resources

The digital question bank seniors shared, notes from EE224 and EE204, the YouTube channel All about electronics, CDEEP lectures for analog electronics.

Topics from the core courses EE224, EE309, and EE204. For analog role, one has to prep RC circuits as well. During my interview for Digital Intern, I was asked questions from digital design to processors to VHDL code.

Interview Experience

Technical Test, Interview, then Offer. The test happened sometime in the middle of August, interview around end of August, and offer came the same day as interview.

Difficulty rating (1-5): 3

Project Work

AI automation of refine file migration in Design Verification.

Overall Experience

It was wonderful at TI. I had a really good mentor who I could approach at any time. He was very involved in my project, and my team was really nice as well. I had quite a few batchmates from campus who I got to spend time with outside of work as well.

Recommendation & Advice

Yes, I certainly would. While I worked on AI automation, I was still given resources and information about the actual Design Verification cycle, what a DV engineer does and what the team as a whole caters to. There is a lot to learn in the field. I would say I was disappointed in having to work on AI instead of core digital- so that is something to keep in mind. Interns are given automation work, the core digital projects are usually handled by full time employees.
