Employee Reviews

Ryan Shaw

We take a real-world approach to innovating. My team looks for game-changing technology from aerospace, marine or material science that can be applicable to making our products more efficient, with higher performance, lighter weight and lower cost.

Electrification powers Magna’s goal of advancing mobility for everyone and everything. Its family of Etelligent powertrain systems features revolutionary products for everything from hybrid vehicles to electric pickups. EtelligentForce is the first electrified solution for three-quarter- and one-ton full-size pickups that doesn’t compromise payload or towing capabilities. EtelligentCommand improves electric range without compromising performance. EtelligentReach, Magna’s all-electric connected powertrain, increases the driving range up to 90 miles, 30 percent more than certain competitors.

A systems approach is a huge advantage. We knew if we teamed up and made a product totally integrated into the mirror, it would give us a golden entry ticket into the market.

Magna’s state-of-the art Driver Monitoring System detects distracted behavior, drowsiness and fatigue. The DMS is built into an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and analyzes the driver’s head, eyes and body to detect distracted or drowsy driving. The camera-based system also uses infrared sensors. It can predict when a driver might not be paying enough attention and send an alert using a vehicle’s audio or visual notifications. Magna developed this industry-first monitoring system by combining its expertise in cameras, mirrors, software and integration. The technology hits the market in 2024.

David Strachan

We are constantly evolving our products and never settling for what we’ve already developed. This means providing multiple solutions to customers.

David Strachan, Senior Director, Global Product Management, Magna Mirrors and Closures


Modifying a vehicle to provide greater accessibility for everyone is the goal behind SmartAccess, which reimagines the next generation of door styles beyond swinging or sliding ones. Magna’s SmartAccess solution eliminates the need for B-pillars, the vertical roof support structures located in the middle of the passenger compartment just behind the front doors. The first step in developing SmartAccess was understanding trends and spotting gaps in the market — and never settling for the status quo when it comes to vehicle access.
