Overview The Micro:bit Educational Foundation is looking for a senior embedded software engineer with a willingness to get involved in all aspects of embedded software development and testing as part of a small team. Your work will support and positively impact students, teachers and partners around the world. Working with the Embedded Software lead and wider tech team, you will develop, improve and research the embedded software that runs on the 11 million BBC micro:bit's distributed around the world. The device helps children and teachers get creative with digital technology, with a specific focus on broadening the diversity of students passionate about computing. This is a broad role in a small organisation, working predominantly on open source projects, in collaboration with other organisations like Lancaster University, Arm and Microsoft. Current projects include: The micro:bit CODAL - the abstractions on which the primary, web-based editors for the micro:bit are built ( , ) DAPLink - the micro:bit's firmware that enables the seamless experience in classrooms so the micro:bit can be programmed from the browser MicroPython for the micro:bit and pxt-microbit , from which MakeCode is built. We want to enable a diversity of people to create amazing and creative things with the micro:bit, so empowering them to do as many different things, as easily as possible, is a key goal. The successful candidate will help us push the limit of what can be done with the micro:bit hardware, with an emphasis on writing expandable, efficient software, with user friendly interfaces. Essential qualifications More than 4 years experience developing C/C++ drivers and software to run on embedded devices (ideally Arm Cortex-M). Experience debugging software in embedded systems using electronic lab tools. Familiarity with test methodologies for embedded systems, including automated and manual tests. Excited to learn new tools and approaches. Diligent in delivering robust, tested and maintainable solutions. Empathetic and effective communication. Capable to work autonomously to achieve project objectives and to collaborate with internal teams, external organisations, and external collaborators. This role requires building an understanding of our audience and working closely with teams across The Foundation. You'll contribute to the planning and design of new features and day-to-day operations. Don't feel discouraged if you don't match many (or any!) of the entries from this section. These are beneficial for the role but are not necessary. Ability to learn on the job and adapt to evolving challenges is more valuable than anything listed here. Experience working on firmware that runs at scale on consumer or industrial devices Experience managing open source projects & documentation Experience managing continuous integration pipelines for embedded systems with or without hardware-in-the-loop Experience with wired (USB, I2C, SPI, UART) and/or wireless (BLE, Wifi) communication protocols Experience with low power design techniques Experience creating and reviewing hardware/firmware/software requirements and designs If you don't feel you match these requirements but are interested in the role, please feel free to apply and explain in your covering letter the areas where you might need support or would like to develop your experience. Responsibilities To facilitate maintenance and development of new features in micro:bit embedded codebases: DAPLink, MicroPython, the C++ abstraction layer for micro:bit V1 ( DAL ) and micro:bit V2 ( CODAL ), and to ensure continued improvement in the educational experience for users of both micro:bit devices To lead the process of maintaining these open source projects, including managing their GitHub repositories, continuous integration pipelines, release management, triaging and prioritising bug reports and pull requests, and identifying when to raise prioritisation with senior members of the team To manage and continue development of the documentation required to facilitate the consumption of these open source projects by other projects (MakeCode, MicroPython) and C++ users To manage and continue development of software/firmware tests to maintain and improve the stability, reliability, and performance of the embedded software To prototype and explore new features and to support collaboration with other teams or organisations to experiment and prototype on the micro:bit platform There are now more than 11 million micro:bits running the embedded software stack you will be working on, and we estimate more than 65 million children around the world have learned to code with the BBC micro:bit. We have achieved this by working closely with engineering teams at our global partners, including Arm, Microsoft, MIT and Nominet. Through these partnerships, the micro:bit is at the heart of a diverse ecosystem of hardware accessories, software editors and educational resource providers. A key role of the tech team at The Foundation is to support this ecosystem in growing and diversifying in an open way. The Micro:bit Educational Foundation is committed to improving the diversity of our team. We actively seek and welcome applications from women, and from all sections of the community.
