    Job description

    Module Lead – Java 

    Eurofins IT Solutions, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India

    Job 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 Qualitype, 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.
    A compelling real-world example is the re‑analysis of cold cases using modern DNA techniques—some decades old—which have led to successful convictions years later, demonstrating how advances in forensic technology can fundamentally change investigative outcomes and deliver long-overdue justice.
    In short, a role at Eurofins Forensics offers a unique combination of technical challenge, societal impact, and domain depth—where engineers are not just building software, but enabling a system that underpins public safety and the pursuit of truth.

    The position focuses on full lifecycle delivery including technical design, implementation, system evolution and automation, ensuring solutions are robust, scalable and aligned with forensic operational processes and compliance requirements.
