Analyst-developer ELN (Freelance possible)

Digital mission: digitize laboratory activities through an Electronic Laboratory Notebook (ELN) (mainly Idbs).

Global objective: build an integrated digital ecosystem connecting the ELN with lab equipment (bioreactors, chromatography skids), devices, databases, and other systems to improve automation and data flows.

Responsibilities:

• Support the implementation, configuration, and enhancement of the ELN (Idbs / Biovia).

• Develop and maintain ELN templates, workflows, and technical components.

• Contribute to broader digital transformation initiatives within CMC labs.

• Prepare and support the Idbs migration roadmap to Desktop Web Client and Web Client Cloud

Must‑have:

• Hands‑on development experience with ELN systems, ideally Idbs (high priority).

• Previous involvement in ELN implementation or laboratory digitalization projects.

• Strong technical profile (not project management focused).

• Understanding of digital lab ecosystems and system integrations.

• French and English required (many scientists are French-speaking).

• Ability to interact with IT and scientific stakeholders.

Nice‑to‑have:

• Experience with Biovia or other ELNs.

• Knowledge of related systems (sample management, MES/manufacturing systems).

• Industry experience: pharma, chemical, or food industry.

• Architecture/system integration understanding.

• Experience using Azure DevOps.

• Experience with on‑prem cloud transitions.

Ideal Candidate:

• A Business Analyst / Developer with proven ELN development experience (Idbs preferred).

• Strong technical skills and hands‑on mindset.

• Comfortable working with scientific end users and IT teams.

• Able to quickly understand lab workflows and propose suitable digital solutions.

• Curious, autonomous, flexible, and eager to learn new systems.

• Not necessarily from pharma if they have relevant lab digitalization experience.
