FPGA Consultant Avionics | Proven Experience in Mission-Critical Design

FPGA consultant avionics with a track record built on precision, performance, and reliability—this is where deep technical expertise meets real-world avionics challenges. With over 30 years of avionics experience as an engineer, Balent Conseil brings unmatched insight into complex digital systems, helping organizations navigate high-stakes ASIC and FPGA development with confidence.

Real-World Expertise That Drives Results

As a freelance VHDL engineer and independent HDL design consultant, our experience spans across advanced ASIC replication, verification, and avionics digital systems. Every engagement is rooted in rigorous standards, especially within DO-254 FPGA consultant environments, ensuring compliance, traceability, and safety.

Core Consulting Experience

Freelance consultant (from 08/2021)

Since 01/2026, supporting ASIC development /replication for avionic equipments

consulting for EXPLEO at THALES-AVIONICS

ASIC replication & manufacturing Subcontractors follow-up in the frame of DO-254 environment endorsement of ASIC replication process, involving in-depth technical understanding:

GDSII layout remapping, generation of spice netlists & chip interconnects from layout, mapping to new technology verification by simulation, with reference measurements, on original devices & on samples

Solving Component Obsolescence: Our work focuses on the high-risk area of ASIC replication—mapping proven architectures to new technologies while maintaining strict DO-254 endorsement. I ensure that your “Old-to-New” transitions retain 100% functional equivalence through rigorous simulation and reference measurements.
