Manager of New Product Development, Tektronix Beaverton, Ore.
Brandon Greenley was a very involved student during his time at Oregon State. While studying electrical engineering, he served as president for the Oregon State chapter of the Society of Automotive Engineers and president of Eta Kappa Nu, the electrical and computer engineering honor society. As a Multiple Engineering Cooperative Program (MECOP) intern with Tektronix, he was inspired to pursue integrated circuit design.
“OSU gave me the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary to be successful in industry,” he said. Greenley is now a product development manager at Tektronix, where he serves as program manager and functional manager for the engineers working on spectrum analyzer products and arbitrary waveform generator products. He led the development for several new products, including the world’s first mixed-domain oscilloscope. His internship experience at MECOP, coupled with the technical knowledge he acquired as a student, prepared Greenley for his career. As a result, he strongly encourages current students to build their networks and develop real-world skills.
“Take advantage of the opportunities to network with industry,” he said. Besides engineering, Greenley enjoys woodworking and spending time with his wife and two young sons.
