S2E32 An Engineer Who Sold His Engineering Podcast | Filip Valica
07/23/21 • 41 min
Filip Valica is a mechanical engineer, product line manager, and former co-host of another wonderful podcast you should know about called The Product Startup podcast, where they specialize in talking about taking ideas from invention to shelves. Filip no longer co-hosts the podcast, because he sold it, but he shared valuable insights from his personal experiences interviewing dozens of inventors he had on his show. It would be very valuable for us to bring him on our show to ask him questions about trends in R&D, engineering, inventing, and more.
The Being An Engineer podcast is brought to you by Pipeline Design & Engineering. Pipeline partners with medical & other device engineering teams who need turnkey equipment such as cycle test machines, custom test fixtures, automation equipment, assembly jigs, inspection stations and more.
