ARINC 429 software for the Learjet 85.
. Interfaced with 3D Wire routing and structural engineers to layout
routing and physically locations for electronic components; while
making sure High Intense Radio Frequency (HIRF) and Electromagnetic
Compatibility/Interference (EMC/EMI) standards were met by selecting
electrical cables & connectors with EMI shielding. As well as planning
ground and flight tests on aircraft to survey if any possible
interference occurs.
. Established and designed customer options within the cost constraints
of the Learjet 85 program budget for Aircell's Iridium & Inmarsat
Satcom along with Air to Ground (ATG) Internet System for the cabin
phone system on the new Learjet 85; which will provide voice
communication, wireless access point with unlimited internet and
interface with Lufthansa Technik's new Cabin Management System for In-
Flight Entertainment (IFE).
. Setup, scheduled weekly meeting and had various design reviews such as
