Victor Chirila, P.Eng.

A graduate of McGill University with a degree in mechanical engineering and a certificate in applied computer science, Victor has specialized expertise in data analysis, modeling, and diagnostics of complex automotive systems.

For nearly 10 years, he has led and carried out projects on automotive and recreational vehicles, validating their performance, safety, and compliance with North American standards (CMVSS, FMVSS). He has particularly distinguished himself in the evaluation of driver-assistance systems (automatic braking, lane-keeping, blind-spot detection, connectivity, and autonomous driving). At Origin, Victor applies his expertise to investigations involving fraud, litigation, and technical incidents. Certified in the Bosch Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) system, he is able to extract and interpret data from the Event Data Recorder (speed, braking, seatbelt use, airbag deployment, etc.). This key information helps confirm the reliability of reported events, reconstruct the circumstances of an accident, and identify any inconsistencies.

Thanks to its ability to distinguish between human error, software anomalies, mechanical failures, and technical non-compliance, Victor is a leader in the analysis of next-generation vehicles and in safeguarding the integrity of insurance claims.

Hobbies: Downhill skiing, racing on a simulator, and mechanical projects of all kinds
