Marvell Technology has announced plans to establish a world-class design center in Ho Chi Minh City. The facility will house advanced semiconductor engineering and will be a top technology workplace for those looking to upgrade their skills and careers, according to the US chip vendor.
Marvell intends to invest in the development of critical technical skills in Vietnam through a newly formed scholarship program in order to meet the talent requirements of its new design center in Vietnam, said the company. The program will support talented students pursuing degrees in engineering and computer science at selected universities in Vietnam.
The Marvell Scholarship program aims to strengthen critical engineering skills in Vietnam, expand female workforce representation at all levels and responsibilities, and improve diversity by recruiting from low-income regions.
"One of the major challenges of the global semiconductor industry is research and engineering shortage and this presents a huge opportunity for aspiring Vietnamese tech talents," said Loi Nguyen, executive VP of Marvell's optical and copper connectivity group and a native of Ho Chi Minh City. "The establishment of Marvell's Design Center in Vietnam is a significant step towards bridging this talent gap and fostering the semiconductor industry in Vietnam."
