Staff Engineer - FPGA Engineering (Hiring Immediately)
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 and powered by the Advanced Research and Invention Agency ( ARIA ).
About the role
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.
