Amongst these are 9 Design Engineer positions. So I think they have already launched the developmet center. You can take a look at this link. Please note that the recruitment information on the website will not be there for a long time. http://www.altera.com/corporate/jobs/job_search.jsp?location=Vietnam

Author: huynhquochung Level: Interns Points: 235		Vietnam beats China for design work Vietnam is becoming preferred over mainland China as a location for IC design, with STMicroelectronics proposing a design centre there last week. Renesas has had a Vietnam IC design centre since 2004. According to Francois Guilbert, ST’s CEO for Asia-Pacific, the company’s Vietnam design centre will focus on satellite TV applications. One reason was this is to enable a local set-top-box industry, because these are currently imported from China. Renesas intends to have 500 engineers at its Vietnam design centre next year. “We were the first semiconductor company to establish an R&D centre in Vietnam so we had the luxury of having the pick of the best engineers,” said Satoru Ito, CEO of Renesas. Ito explained that, initially it was thought that China was the place to set up a design centre. “I thought China would be the key area. Later it seems that China is not going to be a very cost-effective region, and I thought we needed another area which would be cost-effective for a longer time.” In Renesas’ Vietnam design centre, the focus is on system-on-chip (SoC) design for the worldwide market. “A lot of engineering work is required, for instance in SoC,” said Ito. STMicroelectronics said it intends to set up training courses for Vietnamese engineers.

The office officially opened on November 22, in the presence of Herve Novelli, Secretary of State for enterprises and trade, France, and Du Huu Hao, Deputy Minister of industry and trade, Vietnam, according to a representative for ST. While the location is far from being ST’s largest office -- housing just four engineers, one administrator and a country manager -- it is further evidence of Vietnam’s growing presence in the global electronics market. Indeed, Vietnam, which entered the World Trade Organization (WTO) in January, has seen interest from some of the industry’s biggest players, including Intel, which has said it plans to invest more than a billion dollars there. “ST has a long history of successful cooperation with companies that it partners with, including those in emerging markets. Our business model focuses on developing business opportunities directly with our partners without any intermediaries,” a representative for ST told Electronic News. “We do not see this as just another opportunity to sell a few more microchips,” the representative continued. “We see this as an opportunity to build strategic partnerships with all the players in the entire local electronics industry ecosystem -- government, universities, system integrators, local entrepreneurs, manufacturers, etc.” The representative said that ST will initially focus on segments such as smartcards, RFID, electronic-metering, lighting, automotive electronics, home appliances, digital set-top boxes in Vietnam.
