Report: LHP plans to add 135 new employees

LHP Engineering Solutions is planning to add 135 new jobs in Columbus.

The company made the announcement in conjunction with a state announcement on tax incentives. According to the report, the company plans to invest more than $1 million to expand its Poshard Drive headquarters.

The company has 190 employees in Columbus nwo and more than 475 worldwide.

The new hires, set to take place by 2023, would be engineers in the fields of electrical, mechanical, computer science, quality, functional safety and controls, and transportation software.

According to the Indiana Economic Development Corp. announcement, the company will be making  building and office improvements and significant hardware and software investments to the building just off of Central Avenue near the IUPUC and Columbus Learning Center buildings.

The  company provides engineering services and technology integration for embedded controls, telematics, data analytics and model-based design for the automotive, aerospace and medical industries.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered LHP up to $1.6 million in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives.

LHP was founded in 2001 by Dave Glass and Ryan Hou in Columbus and  has expanded to locations in California, Michigan, Texas, China, Italy and Mexico.
