Opic technologies Limited • Part-time
Sep 2023 - Present • 2 yrs 10 mos
As a Design and Development Engineer at OPIC Technologies, I contributed to the development of innovative VR hardware, including the OPIC Spatial product. I was actively involved in end-to-end product development—from concept design and 3D modeling to functional prototyping and validation testing. I led multiple prototype iterations to refine ergonomics, structural integrity, and component integration, ensuring alignment with optical and electronic systems. Additionally, I supported the transition from prototype to mass manufacturing by coordinating with suppliers, optimizing designs for manufacturability (DFM), finalizing production drawings, and assisting in tooling development and quality validation to ensure scalable, cost-effective production.

This is an area very far outside my expertise, and I was very luck to find someone who is both easy to work with, and understanding of me not knowing entirely what I need. I will absolutely come back for any additional projects.

I'll definitely come back to him in the future for follow-ups and new ideas. Thank you again for the...

This was my second order and I am fully satisfied. He really brings his own creativity and ideas to the project and even did some test 3d prints to test it out. I will continue working with Vivek in the future.
