Cybersecurity Development Program

We can't predict what the future holds, but we know Texas Instruments will have a part in shaping it.

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.

As a recent graduate with a bachelor’s degree, you will join Texas Instruments’ Information Technology Security organization and begin a career as a Cyber Security Engineer. You will work side‑by‑side with senior engineers on real‑world projects that protect TI’s global infrastructure, develop privileged‑access solutions, and drive automation across the enterprise.

Key Responsibilities

• Configure and harden operating systems, applications and network devices
• Administer and manage the policy and efficacy of our security tool stack.
• Support the design and configuration of solutions that align with zero‑trust architecture.
• Contribute to patterns of our architectural standards and best‑practice documentation.
• Participate in mentorship sessions and knowledge‑sharing workshops.
• Adopt an automation‑first mindset; write simple scripts or playbooks to streamline repetitive tasks.
• Learn to align solutions with regulatory frameworks such as NIST CSF, MITRE ATT&CK, CIS, ISO.
• Assist in designing scalable, auditable controls for highly regulated environments and support audit preparation.
• Embed security controls into solutions without compromising user experience.
• Evaluate, select, and help implement new security technologies in partnership with senior leadership.
• Conduct threat models in security reviews and risk assessments for new hardware, firmware, and software projects.
• Create and refine tools that automate security assessments and streamline workflows.
• Design and implement secure cloud infrastructure (identity & access management, data protection, network security, compliance).
• Contribute to DevSecOps practices and secure SDLC processes.

Minimum requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Cybersecurity, or a related field.
• Cumulative 3.0/4.0 GPA or higher

Preferred qualifications

• Basic understanding of privileged‑access concepts (Just‑In‑Time entitlements, zero‑standing privileges).
• Familiarity with endpoint protection, malware defenses, and Windows/Linux operating systems.
• Introductory exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and identity lifecycle management.
• Experience with scripting languages (Python, PowerShell) and automation tools (Ansible, Terraform) – a plus.
• Knowledge of networking basics (firewalls, VPNs, network segmentation) and SIEM concepts.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills; ability to document findings clearly.
• Demonstrated problem‑solving ability, eagerness to learn, and capacity to work both independently and within cross‑functional teams.
