About The Position

The Field Applications Program (Texas Region) is part of the Career Accelerator Program (CAP) at Texas Instruments (TI). CAP provides professional and technical training and resources to accelerate new hires' integration into TI and set them up for long-term career success. Within CAP, there is specific function-specific technical training and on-the-job learning opportunities. The FAST (Field Applications & Sales Training) Program is designed to prepare Sales & Applications team members for customer-oriented careers that pair technical skills with business perspectives. The program provides experiences that help rising TIers understand how to successfully grow TI's business and to thrive throughout their entire TI career. There are two available FAST program tracks: (1) Field Applications and (2) Technical Sales. The Field Applications Engineer track is a 12-month experience aimed at establishing rising Field Applications Engineers (FAEs) as technical TI experts with customer engineers and internal teams. The track includes 3 rotations: Rotation 1, Field Sales Office (FSO): This rotation focuses on learning how to work directly with customers to solve technical challenges and maximize TI's revenue by providing customers with system-level solutions. It involves analyzing technical trade-offs, understanding component selection, and solving design and cost challenges. Rotation 2, Mass Market (MM): This rotation trains FAEs on scaling actions across multiple customers and developing new, efficient sales processes through innovative projects. It emphasizes leveraging TI's resources, automation, scalable selling techniques, decision-making in imperfect circumstances, and direct customer interactions. Rotation 3, Business Unit/Systems Engineering & Marketing (BU/SEM): This rotation provides hands-on experience in understanding how TI components form system-level solutions for customer designs. Rotators will be trained on business acumen, technical capabilities, and processes for new product definition and introduction, focusing on technical product selection, schematic/layout capture, PCB layouts, fabrication processes, board bring-up, and validation. Upon successful completion, participants become FAEs on TI's Worldwide Sales & Applications team.
