Tektronix (2,000-plus employees at its Beaverton campus), Qorvo (formerly TriQuint Semiconductor), and Radisys anchor Beaverton's own, distinct Silicon Forest-adjacent employer base -- though Tektronix's corporate headquarters relocated to Raleigh, NC in 2025, a real, honestly disclosed recent departure.
