Change the world. Love your job.
We're looking for an EE intern who is equally comfortable on a scope and at a terminal. Over six months, you'll work on real hardware — schematic capture, board bring-up, and firmware — while also helping us push the frontier of how AI accelerates EE workflows. A meaningful portion of the work involves using AI coding agents (specifically Claude Code) to speed up firmware development, test automation, and design verification. The longer internship window means you'll own a project end-to-end, from spec through bring-up to validation. If you've already been using LLMs to build embedded systems and want to do that as your day job for half a year, this role is for you.
What you will do
- Contribute to schematic design, PCB layout review, and bring-up of new hardware revisions
- Write and debug low-level embedded firmware (bare-metal or RTOS) for ARM Cortex-M class microcontrollers
- Develop board bring-up scripts, hardware-in-the-loop test fixtures, and automated validation tooling
- Use Claude Code to accelerate firmware development, generate driver scaffolding, write tests, and assist with debugging
- Help build internal AI-assisted workflows for EE tasks — e.g., agentic schematic review, datasheet querying, register-map generation, or test-vector synthesis
- Take a hardware/firmware project from definition through validation over the course of the 6-month engagement
- Document designs, decisions, and lessons learned for the broader hardware team
Required Qualifications
- Currently pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field, with availability for a continuous 6-month full time internship
- Hands-on hardware design experience: schematic capture, component selection, and PCB design (Altium, KiCad, or equivalent)
- Demonstrated low-level embedded software experience in C or C++ — register-level peripheral programming, interrupt handling, debugging with JTAG/SWD, and reading ARM datasheets/reference manuals
- Practical experience using Claude Code (or comparable agentic coding tools) on a non-trivial project — bonus if that project involved embedded or systems work
- Comfort with lab instruments: oscilloscope, logic analyzer, multimeter, DC supply, soldering
- Strong fundamentals in digital and analog circuit design
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with at least one RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX) or bare-metal scheduling
- Familiarity with common embedded protocols: I²C, SPI, UART, CAN, USB
- Python proficiency for test automation, instrument control (PyVISA), or data analysis
- Exposure to DFT/DFM, signal integrity, or power integrity considerations
- Prior work integrating LLMs into engineering workflows — prompt engineering, MCP servers, agent harnesses, or eval pipelines for technical tasks
- Open-source contributions to embedded, EDA, or AI tooling projects

Texas Instruments Compensation & Benefits Highlights
The following summarizes recurring compensation and benefits themes identified from responses generated by popular LLMs to common candidate questions about Texas Instruments and has not been reviewed or approved by Texas Instruments.
-
Strong & Reliable Incentives — Profit sharing and annual bonuses are portrayed as a meaningful, formula-linked upside that can materially lift total earnings in strong years. An employee stock purchase plan with a discount further reinforces recurring, wealth-building incentives.
-
Retirement Support — A 401(k) match is described as a stable core benefit, with some references to additional legacy employer contributions and even pension-like elements for certain cohorts. This framing positions long-term savings support as a notable part of the overall rewards package.
-
Healthcare Strength — Medical coverage is depicted as broadly comprehensive, with preventive care and access to HSA/FSA features cited as value-adds. Company-seeded HSA contributions are repeatedly characterized as an important offset to the plan design for those enrolled.
