NI founders Truchard and Kodosky: The human ties that bind

NI founders Truchard and Kodosky: The human ties that bind

[EE Times is celebrating its 40th anniversary, with special articles to honor the innovators who made the electronics industry what it is today, as well as the visionaries who are taking it forward. Look for more stories on the 40th anniversary in our special section.]

It takes a certain something to be an engineer. It takes a certain something else to come up with an idea that becomes a thriving electronics company, one that's grown for nearly 40 years. Then it takes something to stay with the company you founded, continue to drive its growth and innovation AND give back to your community relentlessly.

And it takes some that borders on the incomprehensible for the co-founders of a single company to share all of that at once.

Meet Jeff Kodosky and Jim Truchard, founders of National Instruments (Austin, Texas).
