The two offices in Ho Chi Minh City and one in Da Nang are expected to support the company’s rapidly growing engineering workforce and commitment to innovation. Among them, the Etown 6 office is the largest and features a state-of-the-art laboratory equipped with advanced validation tools for testing semiconductor chips.
Sandeep Bharathi, President of the Data Centre Group at Marvell, said the new lab underscores the group’s long-term commitment to chip research and testing while reflecting its confidence in Viet Nam’s strategic role as a global innovation hub in semiconductors. He noted that Marvell aims to continue building a strong team of Vietnamese engineers capable of driving breakthroughs in semiconductor technology, creating the most complex and high-performance products to shape the future of AI data infrastructure.
Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee Nguyen Van Duoc stressed that the event not only marks Marvell’s expansion in Vietnam but also demonstrates its long-term vision for technological cooperation and development in the region. According to him, the establishment of two offices in Ho Chi Minh City and one in Da Nang reflects Marvell’s long-term commitment while reaffirming Vietnam’s growing position in the global semiconductor value chain.
He affirmed that Ho Chi Minh City is committed to accompanying Marvell and other investors by creating favourable conditions in terms of policies, infrastructure, and human resources. The city stands ready to support Marvell in boosting R&D, technology transfer, and expanding local engineer training programmes, he added.
Marvell Viet Nam was established in 2013 with five engineers at the Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone in Ho Chi Minh City.
Today, with more than 500 engineers, Viet Nam has become Marvell’s third-largest R&D centre after those in the US and India.
According to Le Quang Dam, General Manager of Marvell Viet Nam, the country has affirmed its role as a strategic pillar in Marvell’s global R&D network. Vietnamese engineers are now contributing to some of the most advanced and complex semiconductor projects, with the team’s rapid growth serving as the clearest evidence of their quality and potential.
Notable projects involving Marvell Viet Nam engineers include the Marvell® Alaska® A 800G PAM4 DSP Active Electrical Cable (AEC), Alaska P PCIe Gen6 Retimer, and Nova 1.6 Tbps PAM4 DSP, among other key initiatives.
Viet Nam also plays a strategic role in Marvell’s vision for workforce diversity, particularly in increasing female representation among engineers. To this end, Marvell plans to continue partnering with Vietnamese universities and government agencies through scholarships, internships, curriculum co-development, and technical seminars to train the next generation of semiconductor talent, he stated.
