Neil, Mechanical Engineer

In a few short years, Neil's work has made a positive impact on the development of several major Tektronix products. His accomplishments include the design of some 30 parts on the Performance Scope Product Line platform. He also held responsibility for the front panel, VPI interface, and attenuator board of the new Value Scope Product Line platform and several components for the new logic analyzer program.

Ramachandra, Software Engineer

Ramachandra's work has paved a path into a new field of measurements for Tektronix.

High-performance arbitrary waveform generators were originally designed to address the testing of serial data receivers. Today, there is an emerging need for "direct synthesis waveform generation," a new and highly complex method of signal creation. In collaboration with his peers in India, Japan and Beaverton, Ramachandra explored this uncharted territory and began working on software tools that meet customers' evolving needs.

Ramachandra embraced this new technology space despite a dearth of domain knowledge and measurement requirements. He invented solutions where needed, submitted two patents and plans to submit two more.

Karsten, Software Design Engineer

After joining Tektronix, Karsten was tasked with researching an emerging mobile technology. He vigorously explored these uncharted waters, creating the first test module, building the first prototype for the Network and Services Analyzer monitoring product and establishing a roadmap for future products to support long-term evolution.

Karsten worked closely with product and program management to understand product needs. He participated in several customer visits to collect requirements and understand their various implementation choices. Karsten's advanced R&D work helped Tektronix enter this next-generation mobile technology market.

Jed, Hardware Design Engineer

As a Hardware Design Engineer II, Jed worked as the lead designer on the front end of the acquisition board for a mid-range scope. He took on this with the technical tenacity of a seasoned analog designer. He has faced a number of challenges during the development phases of this program and he has consistently stepped up to the challenges by identifying innovative ways of solving input noise problems and insuring that the bandwidth specifications could be exceeded.

His consistent contributions in the performance scope product line and demonstrated technical leadership has positioned him to continue to build a solid reputation as a strong technical contributor in the Tektronix engineering community.
