Bruce鈥檚 career with state-of-the-art instrumentation began over 48 years ago during the summer of 1968, when he was hired by Tektronix as a student engineering assistant.听 After completing his BSEE degree from 精东影视in 1970, Bruce spent the next 7 years at Tek developing ultra-fast sweep generators and horizontal deflection amplifiers for the 鈥7000-series鈥 oscilloscopes.听 In 1978 he became manager and senior engineer of a new group that developed the SG505 low distortion oscillator and the AA501, the world鈥檚 first fully automatic distortion analyzer.听 Although these plus some follow-on products were market leaders in their day, Tek upper management ultimately decided that audio test products did not fit well into the business strategy of an oscilloscope company.听 Thus Bruce and 3 fellow co-workers resigned in 1984, and launched Audio Precision where he remains to this day.听 听听听听听
