The two offices in Ho Chi Minh City and one in Danang 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 Vietnam’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 HCMC 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 HCMC and one in Danang reflects Marvell’s long-term commitment while reaffirming Vietnam’s growing position in the global semiconductor value chain.

He affirmed that HCMC is committed to accompanying Marvell and other investors by creating favorable 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 Vietnam was established in 2013 with five engineers at the Tan Thuan Export Processing Zone in HCM City.

Today, with more than 500 engineers, Vietnam has become Marvell’s third-largest R&D center after those in the U.S. and India.

According to Le Quang Dam, general manager of Marvell Vietnam, 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 Vietnam 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.

Vietnam 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.
