About Meridial
Meridial is a Focused Research Organisation (FRO) with a mission to bring connectomics into the living brain. We are building a platform for longitudinal, synapse-resolution mapping of functional neural circuitry in preclinical models. Our aim is to deploy this platform for translational projects and improve drug development outcomes for disorders of the Central Nervous System.
Meridial is a new not-for-profit FRO in the Convergent Research Ecosystem, powered by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency (ARIA).
About the role
Meridial is seeking an entrepreneurial Software Engineer to take ownership of the software systems at the heart of our multi-photon microscopy platform. This is a broad hands-on role spanning hardware control, data acquisition, user interfaces, and analysis pipelines. You will work at the intersection of software and science, collaborating closely with FPGA engineers, experimental neuroscientists, and a growing data team.
The near-term priority is maintaining, debugging, and extending our existing MATLAB-based microscope control software. Immediate goals include adding new experimental functionality, improving data handling, and developing real-time analysis modules. You will need to learn the workings of a legacy system quickly, including by working with external contractors, and deploy solutions with an eye toward future fundamental improvements. Longer term, you will help define and drive the architectural evolution of the software stack, potentially including migration from MATLAB toward open-source systems. As the company grows, there will also be opportunities to contribute to data architecture, offline scientific analysis pipelines, and web portals.
This role will report to the Director of Engineering and work closely with experimentalists, with clear scope to grow into technical leadership of the software function.

Meridial is seeking an entrepreneurial FPGA Engineer to join as a core technical contributor on our multi-photon microscopy platform. This is a hands-on role spanning FPGA architecture development and iterative system improvement. This role reports to the Director of Engineering, working in close partnership with our neuroscience and engineering teams. You will take ownership of the FPGA systems at the heart of our microscopes - maintaining and supporting current platforms, extending the existing codebase, and helping shape and build future architectures as our platform grows in capability and ambition.
The position calls for substantial practical experience with FPGA development and judgment to deeply engage with both legacy and next-generation architectures, including porting code across devices, evaluating hardware options, and making sound design decisions across interfaces, logic, and memory subsystems. It will also involve working closely with users and collaborators to understand technical needs, debug complex issues, and implement new functionality effectively. The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong FPGA engineering fundamentals and a startup-friendly mindset that keeps development moving forward in a fast-paced build-and-iterate environment.

Meridial is seeking an entrepreneurial Optics & Photonics Engineer to join as a core technical contributor on our multi-photon microscopy platform. This is a hands-on role spanning optical system design, prototyping, iterative development and maintenance in close partnership with our neuroscience and engineering teams. This role reports to the Director of Engineering. You will own the optical stack end-to-end — from ultrafast laser source to sample and detector — and play an active part in identifying and solving technical challenges as our platform grows in capability and ambition.
The position calls for substantial practical experience with multi-photon microscopy and the ability to engage deeply with custom optical design, including working directly with specialty manufacturers to specify and refine components beyond off-the-shelf solutions. It will also involve interfacing with expert contractors who have deep familiarity with specific aspects of our platform, so a genuine eagerness to learn quickly and apply that knowledge effectively is essential. More broadly, the ideal candidate will bring strong optical engineering fundamentals and a startup-friendly mindset that keeps development moving forward in a fast-paced build-and-iterate environment.
