About the role

Paragon Car Carpets & Components Sdn. Bhd. is an automotive interior component manufacturer supplying Tier-1 solutions to Malaysia's leading automotive brands, including Proton and Perodua. We are seeking a Senior Upholstery Specialist & Production Sewing Supervisor to take charge of our sewing floor operations while establishing and leading our automotive seat upholstery technical capabilities. This role combines hands-on master craftsmanship in automotive trimming with shop-floor supervision—setting clear production standards, driving output targets, optimizing line balance, and minimizing overtime.

Key responsibilities

Design, pattern, cut, and manufacture leather, vinyl, and microfiber covers for automotive seats, headrests, armrests, and console assemblies.
Develop patterns and templates for interior trim components, including door panels, roof linings/headliners, sunvisors, pillar trims, car floor mats, and edge-bound floor carpets.
Execute skilled single-needle and twin-needle machine sewing, piping, topstitching, and hand-sewing (including leather-wrapped steering wheels and custom trim).
Build prototypes and complete trim sets for OEM and aftermarket custom interior programs according to technical drawings and specifications.
Establish standard operating sheets (SOS) and pattern libraries for future production scaling.
Supervise daily operations across the floor mat and carpet sewing lines, managing line allocation and machine assignment.
Establish standard cycle times, daily operator output benchmarks (KPIs), and productivity targets to reduce bottlenecks and eliminate unnecessary overtime.
Monitor work-in-progress (WIP), clear line bottlenecks, and keep all sewing stations moving at a steady pace.
Inspect in-process and finished goods to ensure stitch tension, seam alignment, margin consistency, and cosmetic finish meet OEM specifications.
Train, upskill, and guide existing and new production operators on machine operation, proper handling of heavy materials, and defect prevention.

About you

Minimum 5+ years of practical experience in automotive trimming, car seat upholstery (cushion), or high-end industrial sewing/trim assembly.
Master-level proficiency with industrial single-needle and twin-needle walking foot sewing machines.
Demonstrated skill in pattern drafting, template cutting, material skimming/preparation, and hand-stitching.
Comprehensive hands-on experience in dismantling, wrapping, and assembling full vehicle interior assemblies (seats, door trims, consoles, headliners, and carpets).
Prior background as a Line Leader, Sewing Supervisor, or Master Trimmer within a manufacturing or contract upholstery environment.
Proven ability to set output quotas, assess operator cycle times, and manage production schedules.
Good working proficiency in Bahasa Malaysia and basic/conversational English.
Strong eye for detail, firm leadership on the production floor, high accountability, and the drive to build a newly formed upholstery line from the ground up.
