Leadership Profile
Engineering leadership, built on real vehicles.
Charles is a UC Berkeley–trained Mechanical Engineer and a hands-on Vehicle Project Engineer at MC2 Motors Corporation. He provides technical engineering support to shop operations — including engine and transmission rebuild work, OEM-spec procedures, and advanced diagnostics validated through real-world repair outcomes. At DriveOn, he bridges mechanical systems expertise with mathematical diagnostics, live telemetry, and cloud execution to deliver vehicle intelligence grounded in physics, validated behavior, and repeatable service solutions.
What Charles Leads at DriveOn
- Engineering diagnostic mathematical derivation
- Closed-loop telemetry validation using live PID data
- Mechanical-to-cloud system integration strategy
- Real-world failure-mode validation (confirmed fixes)
- HAAS hardware dongle development (CAN-bus capture → DriveOn.ai cloud endpoint)
