With about 40 regular team members to choose from, we will start with our core staff of program managers, scientists, engineers and specialized optical engineers and then include key staff to build an optimized team for each client’s specific challenges and business goals.
For very specific areas of expertise that might be required for a specific task, such as material science, we can leverage our industry knowledge and contacts to tap Into our pool of hundreds of experts. We serve as a versatile extension of your own project team.
At Optimum Technologies, our motto is “We build the best team to meet the client’s needs, rather than making the client’s needs fit the team we have.” This ensures that you realize maximum value from your development dollar.
Our optical engineers and other team members have years of real world experience in the successful commercialization of products for the medical and biomedical sector. This experience ensures that from the early stages of the design process, your product is progressing along the path of least risk with respect to areas that include regulatory path, ergonomics and manufacturability.
Randal Chinnock
Founder/CEO
Mr. Chinnock commercializes technologies that use light to diagnose and treat disease. He has been involved with scores of medical devices and laboratory instruments that sense, image, irradiate, or analyze organs, tissues, or body fluids. Recent examples include an ophthalmic instrument for measuring refractive error of the eye, an LED illuminator for cancer drug activation, a disposable endoscope for viewing inside body cavities, an optical scanning system for fitting hearing aids, and a laser system for treating gum disease.
As CEO of Optimum Technologies, Inc. since its founding in 1994, Mr. Chinnock has worked with companies of all sizes on the development and commercialization of light-based devices. His 30+ years of experience include engineering, manufacturing, marketing, and general management positions at several companies engaged in electro-optical devices and systems, including Varian, United Detector Technologies, Smith & Nephew, and Henke Sass Wolf of America. In addition to its engineering and production services, his company is currently developing its own proprietary retinal imaging technology for screening for diabetic retinopathy under funding from the National Institutes of Health.
He holds a B.S. in Engineering Physics from the University of Colorado and studied Mechanics and Materials Science at Johns Hopkins University.
For fun, Randy likes to cook, swim, design and build unique structures, and drive small cars with big engines faster than he should.
