ob Description

As a Module Lead, you will play a key role within the eLIMS-Forensics programme,

Eurofins Forensic Services, operating in UK, Netherlands, France, Germany and Belgium, sits at the core of European criminal justice systems, acting as the trusted scientific partner to police forces and courts, and providing critical evidence that enables fair and accurate outcomes in serious criminal investigations.
For software engineers, this is a rare opportunity to build systems where code directly impacts real-world justice—supporting DNA analysis, Forensic Case Management, and forensic workflows that can identify suspects and strengthen legal decision-making.

The UK forensic ecosystem remains one of the most advanced globally, combining cutting-edge science, strict regulatory standards, and continuous innovation; advances in data science, AI, and trace analysis are actively transforming how evidence is detected, interpreted, and used in investigations.
As part of the acquisition of Qualitied, Eurofins’ internal model already emphasises the integration of software development, quality engineering, and forensic domain expertise, giving engineers direct exposure to highly specialized scientific applications rarely found in traditional tech roles.
