02. Semiconductors, Electric Vehicles, and the Metaverse with Aaron Lee
In this episode of Learn Robotics with Liz, I chatted with my good friend and engineer, Aaron Lee. We spoke about current events in engineering and technology. First, we talked about the current state of the Semiconductor Industry — chip shortages anyone? Bringing electronic manufacturing back to the U.S. is a wish for a lot of people and companies. Is *duplicating* a factory in Arizona the answer? Then, we talked about the nearly 800 hp 2022 Dodge Challenger and what electric vehicles mean for the truest of auto enthusiasts, gearheads, and the like. And with the rise of Electric Vehicles, where are we getting these batteries? Would you drive an Electric Sports Car or Wrangler? Finally, we wrap the show by talking about Meta and what the "metaverse" means for future social lives, businesses, and innovation in the technology space. Calling all high-achieving technologists looking to reinvent their career to robotics If I offered to help you get 3-5 high-level interviews with Fortune 500 companies and Innovative Startups in the next 90-days, so you could accept the robotics or technical role of your dreams, earn $100-$150k, and have practically unlimited earning potential for the rest of your career, would you take me up on the offer?
