DO-254/DO-178C engineering services for aerospace and defense certification
CS Group – USA is a 11–50 person engineering services firm specializing in functional safety and cybersecurity compliance for aerospace and defense. The stack—dominated by VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog, FPGA tooling, and DO-178C/DO-254 domain expertise—reflects a deep focus on hardware verification and airborne software certification rather than general systems integration. Current hiring velocity is accelerating across engineering and security roles, suggesting scaling pressure around cybersecurity integration into avionics systems, which appears across both their active project list and stated pain points.
CS Group – USA delivers engineering services for safety-critical and mission-critical aerospace and defense platforms. The firm operates across three core competency areas: DO-178C airborne software development (requirements through certification across all DAL levels, including model-based design and formal methods); DO-254 electronic hardware assurance (FPGA/ASIC design, requirements-based testing, traceability for FAA certification); and ARP4754A system-level architecture and DAL flow-down. They also provide DO-326A/DO-355A avionics cybersecurity services. Based in East Hartford, Connecticut, the company serves OEMs and systems integrators navigating FAA and DO-level certification requirements for next-generation airborne, spaceborne, and terrestrial platforms.
Primary languages: VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog, C, C++, Python. Hardware design and verification tools include FPGA tooling and UVM. Office and collaboration: Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Adobe Creative Suite, Dynamics NAV, IBM DOORS for requirements management.
Active projects include DO-254 complex electronic hardware certification, DO-178C airborne systems certification, real-time embedded FPGA design for safety-critical applications, airworthiness security processes, and cybersecurity case development for avionics systems integration.
