Muhammad Shamim Bin Sulaiman
Grad.Eng.
Shamim Sulaiman hails from Perak and holds an honors degree in Chemical Engineering from Universiti Teknologi MARA. After graduating in 2021, he ran a food stall to sustain himself during the COVID-19 pandemic. In July 2022, Shamim began his career as a Process Engineer at Unisem Advanced Technologies (UAT), specializing in the photolithography process for 300mm wafers. During his two years at UAT, he led multiple projects, gaining expertise in wafer processes, defect management, and engineering documentation, while mastering manufacturing systems. His efforts earned him recognition as a Finalist in the Technical Excellence Competition in March 2024. In July 2024, Shamim resigned from UAT to pursue a 2-month Siemens PLC training program in Pahang, focusing on automation for manufacturing. Upon completing the course, he joined Fuji Global Chocolate (FGC) at the Port of Tanjung Pelepas, Johor, as a Maintenance Executive (Automation & Calibration). In this role, Shamim utilized Siemens, Rockwell, Mitsubishi PLCs, along with SCADA Wonderware InTouch, to optimize automation processes and modify the instrumentation and control system to enhance safety and process performance.
