As a Metallurgical Engineer for Magna Powertrain my focus is to collaborate with the quality team in order to prevent mistakes and/or defects in Magna's manufactured products while trying to avoid problems when delivering our products and services to customers. Our team is broken up into managers, senior engineers, engineers, and quality technicians. My role as a Metallurgical Engineer is to assist the quality team by providing metallurgical analysis and support to our products. In order to prepare samples I have been trained on various machine shop equipment, such as bandsaws and metallurgical cutoff wheels, to section parts effectively. I independently operate a laboratory equipped for metallurgical preparation of samples, etching, stereomicroscopy, and hardness testing. In addition to traditional Materials Science related work, I have also been trained on and assisted with: LPAs, FMEAs, APQP, PPAP, and MSA processes.
