About Automotive Jobs in Malaysia

Malaysia's automotive sector is one of the most significant in Southeast Asia, anchored by national car manufacturers and a broad ecosystem of component suppliers, dealerships, and after-sales service providers. The industry employs over 700,000 people directly and indirectly, making it a major pillar of the national economy.

Proton Holdings and Perodua (Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua) are the twin national automotive brands — together commanding over 60% of the Malaysian domestic market. Their manufacturing plants in Shah Alam (Proton), Subang Jaya (Proton assembly), and Rawang (Perodua) are among the country's largest single-site employers. International brands with significant assembly or distribution operations include Toyota (UMW Toyota), Honda (Honda Malaysia), Mazda (Bermaz Auto), BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Hyundai.

The sector is undergoing a structural transition driven by electrification. EV adoption is accelerating in Malaysia following the 2023 launch of Proton's X70 EV and expanded CKD (Completely Knocked Down) assembly of Chinese EV brands. The government's New Energy Vehicle (NEV) roadmap is creating demand for EV powertrain engineers, battery systems specialists, and EV charging infrastructure professionals — entirely new job families that did not exist in the Malaysian automotive market five years ago.

Salary & Hiring Trends in Automotive

Automotive technicians and service advisors earn RM 2,200 – RM 3,800/month. Engineers in vehicle assembly and component manufacturing earn RM 3,500 – RM 6,500/month at entry to mid-level. Senior engineers, product planners, and quality managers earn RM 7,000 – RM 14,000/month. Automotive directors and general managers at major brands earn RM 15,000 – RM 35,000/month.

EV engineers — particularly those with battery management system (BMS) experience, electric drivetrain engineering, or EV charging infrastructure design — are the most sought-after professionals in Malaysian automotive, commanding 25–40% premiums over comparable ICE (internal combustion engine) roles. Dealership general managers and after-sales service managers at premium brands (BMW, Mercedes) earn substantially more than mass-market equivalents. The shift to software-defined vehicles is also creating demand for embedded software engineers with automotive (AUTOSAR, ISO 26262) experience.

Top Automotive Roles in Malaysia

Automotive Quality Engineer

Service Advisor / After-Sales Executive

Front-line customer interaction at authorised dealerships — managing vehicle service appointments, warranty claims, and customer satisfaction.

Automotive Sales Executive / Fleet Manager

Sells new and used vehicles at dealerships, or manages fleet accounts for corporate clients at authorised brand distributors.

    Search SuperJobs by role ("automotive engineer", "EV engineer", "service advisor", "quality engineer automotive") or filter by the Automotive industry for all current listings.

    Highlight automotive-specific standards and certifications: IATF 16949, VDA 6.3, APQP, PPAP, FMEA, and functional safety experience (ISO 26262) for safety-critical engineering roles.

  3. 3

    For EV and electrification roles, emphasise any exposure to BMS (Battery Management Systems), CAN/LIN bus communication, AUTOSAR architecture, or high-voltage system safety.

  4. 4

    Apply through SuperJobs and directly via Proton, Perodua, and major distributor career portals — both channels are active and sometimes carry different role listings.

  5. 5
