In a rapidly evolving world, inspiring the next generation of engineers is more crucial than ever. Engineering is the backbone of many technological advancements that shape our daily lives—from smartphones to the infrastructure we rely on. Encouraging young minds to explore this dynamic field brings significant benefits to both individuals and society.
At TSS, we recognize the importance of nurturing future talent. To that end, we've opened our doors to high school students eager to delve into engineering. Similar to ‘Take Your Child to Work Day,’ TSS provided students connected to our staff with a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of mixed-signal design.
The day began with an introduction to the semiconductor industry, where students learned about semiconductors and their critical role in modern electronics. They then enjoyed a guided tour of our facilities, gaining insights into the development of Memory PHYs and observing how various teams collaborate on product development.
Following the tour, students participated in hands-on workshops, applying theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios, bridging the gap between theory and practice.

One of the most impactful aspects of the day was the chance for students to interact with professionals. Our engineers and university interns shared their stories, offered insights into the mixed-signal design industry, and discussed their educational and career paths, as well as their experiences at TSS. These interactions provided students with mentorship and inspiration for their future careers.
Hosting high school students is more than just an educational outreach; it’s a strategic investment in the future of the semiconductor industry. By offering a glimpse into semiconductor engineering, we foster a deeper understanding and appreciation for the field. This initiative helps demystify engineering, sparking interest and encouraging students to pursue careers in science and technology. Additionally, these visits contribute to a more diverse and skilled workforce by addressing the talent gap and inspiring students from various backgrounds to consider engineering careers. Ultimately, this helps build a pipeline of future talent well-versed in the industry’s demands and opportunities.
