Support for hardware digital design, verification expertise
With more than 30 years experience in industry, mainly in avionics division inside the Airbus group,
i offer a valuable technical support for development projects, especially in the digital design area
01/2026 Update ........Ever deeper under the hood !
During my mission for VITEC (30 months), i had the opportunity to strengthen my skills
in VHDL and System Verilog, AXI4 and DDR Controller interface, supporting the ASIC development project
to tackle the most critical performance topic(Bandwidth & Latency)
and now struggling with ASIC layers ... see my latest mission !
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 indeep 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
12/2021 - 06/2024 ASIC development project for IPTV
Responsible for performance setup and assessment for Video Streams (H266, HEVC, though a NOC AXI4 interface to DDR4)
Netlist simulations for 22 nm FDX technology, including power consumptions assessments
VIPs (Verfication IPs) & test bench development, perfos assessment (+ iterations with codecs and other initiators design)
Digital Design environment : VHDL-2008 + Riviera Pro and VCS + System Verilog / UVM dedicated test bench for Synopsys DDR Controller
Tooling : Python , Bash & TCL scripting (code generation, moduel integration, automation, post processing, industrialisation), a significant part of the job
