Seagate Technology (Ireland), based in L'Derry, is to create 35 new jobs.
The firm announced it is to invest £34.7 million in a major research development project which will require an additional 35 skilled R&D engineers.
Invest NI has offered £7.8million of assistance, part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund.
David Mosley, Seagate's President of Operations and Technology, said: "The explosive increase in demand for storage from mobile applications, cloud-computing infrastructures, social media, business applications and consumer markets is driving the need to develop new technology that can deliver greater storage capacity.
"This R&D project will see the Springtown R&D team, supported by Ansin at Queen’s University Belfast, apply its expertise to the task of developing HAMR technology and help the company achieve competitive advantage."
