Meet the people of TI
Don’t be surprised if you feel a sense of pride the first time someone refers to you as a TIer, because TIers have helped shape the world as you know it. Jack Kilby had only been at TI for three months when he created the integrated circuit, which changed the world as we know it. Since then, thousands of TIers around the globe have contributed invention after invention to enable electronics to become smaller, more efficient, more affordable and more reliable.
In 1961, TIer Charles Cook was tasked by Jack Kilby to develop a new integrated circuit. Little did he know, his project would become the first IC to orbit Earth when NASA launched its Explorer 18 satellite.
TIer Xiaolin Lu has made significant contributions to data networks. But she also focuses on strengthening a network of women engineers whom she has mentored and coached.
TI engineer Jake Smith created a solar-powered, user-friendly electricity system to give Haitian families affordable electricity. Along with the Haitian Solar Initiative, Jake is bringing phone-charging capabilities and light after sunset to homes, medical clinics and churches.
TI engineer Pradeep Shenoy is passionate about pushing the next generation of technology forward – whether it’s through groundbreaking innovations or mentoring new TIers.
