What It's Like to Work at Magna International

To have these tools at our fingertips, we just have that ability to do what actually is just within the realms of our creativity to make one of the best products we can.

So for new hires, we allow them to speak their mind right away. Entry-level engineers and the co-ops get to really work on all aspects of the design. I really feel that their fresh ideas leads us to be more innovative over time.

I think everybody at Magna wants you to be your best, and the leadership definitely reflects that. I've been able to learn an incredible amount from the people above me and the people around me.

So, you have to think outside the box. And I kind of like that at this job because it makes everyday tasks completely different. You never know what you're going to work on.
They have really great labs here. We have an electronics lab and an EMC lab that allow us to do testing that we might otherwise have to go out to a third-party facility to do.
We're all very open on this team and we will just teach you what you need to know.
We're always moving forward in something, so any day that we move forward, it's a good day.

The thing that makes Magna unique is the emphasis on innovation and so this is a great place for early career engineers.
It's definitely fun working on a product from the start all the way until it's launched and then you see it on the road inside vehicles.

It can be obvious from an energy or operational perspective, but we need people in marketing and people in HR, the people who tell our story and who help build internal culture. That’s what’s exciting about Magna and about sustainability — we have a cross-collaborative, dynamic work environment and are building a strategy for long-term success.

I like working for Magna because it's different every day. You never know what you're going to walk into. You don't ever have that repetitiveness. There's always something new for you to do, there's something new to achieve, new people to meet. It's never boring.

A big part of the job is testing new equipment to make sure it works within the company, which is really fun and exciting, especially for IT people because every IT person's dream is to use all the new technology.

It's the future of manufacturing that focuses on integrating various systems and advanced technologies in the production process. The vision is always creating an intelligent shop floor in Magna by leveraging connectivities, automations, and real-time insights to optimize each and every minute manufacturing process. This includes the use of technologies like robotics, cloud data science, and big data analytics.
