| Project |
General Purpose LCD Cockpit display |
| Sphere of Work |
Product system integration Civil
aircraft avionics
|
| Responsibilities |
Combined circuit debug
and system debug/integration |
| Notes |
At the end of the circuit design phase
most of the designers had left either the project or the
company, hence their knowledge was not available to be
plundered. The work was done at break-neck speed.
