Volta labs

Volta Labs is a genomics applications company not just shaping the future of genomics – they are engineering it.

They have built a next-generation digital fluidics platform that redefines sample preparation, delivering unmatched performance, scalability, and consistency. Their technology is transforming the field, enabling scientists to move past the busywork and focus on the discoveries that drive biology forward.

At their core is a team of scientists and engineers united by a shared vision: a future where extracting biological insights is as simple as the push of a button. And they are making it happen.

Headquartered in Boston’s Seaport, Volta Labs is where innovation meets execution – a culture built on breaking silos, learning fast, and growing together.

In 2025, as Volta Labs prepared to enter the European market, they turned to SRC-Search for support. They needed a recruitment partner with deep local expertise to help navigate the region, attract the right people, and build a foundation for sustainable growth.
