Field Applications Program (Digital Selling – Dallas, TX)

Program overview

When you join TI, you will participate in the Career Accelerator Program (CAP), which provides professional and technical training and resources to accelerate your ramp into TI and set you up for long-term career success. Within this program, we also offer function-specific technical training and on-the-job learning opportunities that will encourage you to solve problems through a variety of hands-on, meaningful experiences from your very first day on the job.

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.

Field Applications Engineer track

This 12-month experience aims to establish rising Field Applications Engineers (FAEs) as technical TI experts with customer engineers and internal teams. The track includes three rotations:

• Rotation 1, Field Sales Office (FSO): Centered on learning how to work directly with customers to solve technical challenges, and to ultimately maximize TI's revenue by providing customers with the systems-level solutions that best address their design needs. Focuses on analyzing technical trade-offs, understanding component selection, and solving design and cost challenges.
• Rotation 2, Mass Market (MM): Designed to train FAEs on how to scale any action within a given sector or EE across multiple customers. Rotators participate in innovative projects to help create new and more efficient sales processes. Focuses on learning how to leverage TI's resources, automation, practice scalable selling techniques, decision making in imperfect circumstances, and direct customer interactions.
• Rotation 3, Business Unit/Systems Engineering & Marketing (BU/SEM): Provides hands-on experiences that help future FAEs understand how various TI components fit together to provide systems-level solutions for customer designs. Rotators are trained on business acumen, technical capabilities, and processes for new product definition and introduction. Focuses on technical product selection, schematic/layout capture, PCB layouts, fabrication processes, board bring up and validation.

Upon successful completion of the Field Applications Engineer program, participants in this role are welcomed as FAEs on the Digital Selling Systems team. The Digital Selling Systems team uses TI's selling platform to find more mass-market opportunities and work with customers to convert the opportunities to revenue at scale.
