Inheco manufactures thermo-mechanical reaction control systems integrated into automated biochemical workflows—the kind of hardware that underpins next-gen sequencing and sample prep at scale. The tech stack (SolidWorks, Ansys, COMSOL, C#/.NET, LabVIEW, embedded Linux on ARM) reflects a hardware-firmware hybrid operation with serious simulation and design validation. Active hiring skews heavily toward engineering (7 of 10 roles) and includes leadership development and CI/CD pipeline work, suggesting a push to formalize development rigor as the company scales manufacturing complexity.
Inheco designs and manufactures precision lab automation systems for thermal cycling and sample preparation in life-science workflows. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Martinsried, Bavaria, the company serves mid-to-large biotech R&D labs and NGS facilities. Their product line integrates heating, cooling, and mechanical control into devices that slot into automated liquid handling and sequencing pipelines. With 51–200 employees, the operation spans hardware design (PCB, mechanical, firmware), manufacturing, and field service. Current focus areas include reducing manufacturing cycle time, improving testing automation, and addressing supply-chain constraints.
SolidWorks and Altium 365 for CAD/PCB design; Ansys and COMSOL for thermal and mechanical simulation; LabVIEW for instrument control logic; C#/.NET and embedded C/C++ for firmware and software layers.
Supply-chain shortages, process bottlenecks, and cycle-time reduction. Active projects include series testing automation and digital test strategy development to optimize throughput.
