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.

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.
