Marquee Semiconductor

What Marquee Semiconductor does

Marquee Semiconductor is a privately held, founder-led semiconductor design services firm founded in July 2019 and headquartered in Milpitas, California. The company provides spec-to-silicon turnkey design services spanning digital design, analog/mixed-signal design, FPGA implementation, and chiplet integration, with a stated specialization in connectivity — both intra-chip (NoC, AMBA CHI/AXI/AHB/APB, NVMe) and inter-chip (PCIe, CXL, UCIe, DDR, SATA, CAN). Marquee serves semiconductor companies, OEMs, and system integrators building custom silicon for AI/ML acceleration, storage/data center, and high-performance connectivity applications, operating a global delivery model with engineering centers in the USA, India, Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia.

The business model is professional services-led, generating revenue through project-based turnkey engagements and staff augmentation under multi-year contracts, with pricing not publicly disclosed. Marquee differentiates its delivery through proprietary internal automation tools (Professional Service Automation, Register Service Automation, System Integration Automation) and a DRIVE methodology intended to deliver first-time system success. In April 2024 the firm extended beyond services into product with the launch of corpLink.ai, a SaaS-based Professional Services Automation platform targeted at engineering project management.

Marquee operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries across five jurisdictions and is led by Founder/CEO Purna Mohanty, supported by a CTO, CFO/VP APAC, CPO, and Chief People Officer, with semiconductor veteran Gideon Intrater engaged as Strategic Advisor in January 2024. The company shows no disclosed external venture capital or private equity funding, with growth funded organically and via the June 2023 acquisition of Indian design services firm Semikunn Technology Services. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 certification for its India R&D center (September 2023) and has established multiple university partnerships and Centers of Excellence in chiplet design.
