We are seeking a technically strong Agile delivery leader to help embedded software and verification teams execute across complex robotic and medical device platforms. This role supports Embedded Services, where firmware, embedded software, application software, hardware, systems, and verification teams must stay tightly aligned to deliver critical product milestones.
This is not a traditional Scrum Master role. The ideal candidate is an embedded software professional who has moved into Agile execution, technical coordination, or delivery enablement. You will bring structure, urgency, and follow-through to complex workstreams involving multiple teams, stakeholders, locations, and time zones.
In this role, you will do more than facilitate ceremonies. You will use your technical background to understand engineering risks and dependencies, identify where work is stuck, clarify ownership, drive alignment, and help teams move critical work forward. You will also translate technical complexity into clear priorities, risks, decisions, and next steps for engineering teams and program stakeholders.
This role combines embedded software credibility with Agile execution and technical delivery coordination. You will not simply run meetings or report status. You will help engineering teams align priorities, resolve dependencies, improve execution discipline, and move critical embedded software and verification work toward major integration and product milestones.
-
Lead Agile execution for embedded software and verification teams, including sprint planning, daily standups, backlog refinement, sprint reviews, retrospectives, and quarterly product increment planning.
-
Partner with technical product owners and engineering leaders to maintain healthy, prioritized, and execution-ready backlogs.
-
Coordinate dependencies across embedded software, application software, hardware/software integration, systems, robotics, and verification teams.
-
Identify, track, and help remove blockers that impact sprint commitments, integration readiness, and verification milestones.
-
Improve team execution by strengthening story quality, backlog readiness, Definition of Done, ownership, and follow-through.
-
Facilitate communication across distributed teams and ensure risks, dependencies, tradeoffs, and decisions are visible and actionable.
-
Translate complex technical issues into clear actions, priorities, owners, and next steps for engineering teams and program stakeholders.
-
Use your embedded software background to support technical triage, root cause discussions, field issue investigations, debugging conversations, and code reviews when needed.
-
Support effective use of JIRA and Confluence for planning, backlog management, dependency tracking, documentation, and team visibility.
-
Help teams continuously improve how they plan, communicate, execute, and deliver in a regulated product development environment.
-
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical discipline is required.
-
4+ years of relevant experience in embedded software, firmware, medical device software, robotics, or another complex technical product environment is required.
-
Prior hands-on experience as a software engineer, embedded software engineer, firmware engineer, technical lead, or similar technical role is required.
-
Experience leading Agile execution, Scrum practices, technical delivery coordination, backlog management, or cross-functional engineering execution is required.
-
Strong understanding of embedded software development and hardware/software integration.
-
Experience coordinating work across multiple technical teams, stakeholders, locations, or time zones.
-
Hands-on experience with JIRA or similar Agile planning tools.
-
Strong communication, facilitation, prioritization, problem-solving, and relationship-building skills.
-
Experience in medical device, robotics, aerospace, defense, automotive, industrial automation, or another regulated or safety-critical environment.
-
Experience supporting software integration, verification, validation, field issue investigation, root cause analysis, or nonconformance investigations.
-
Familiarity with regulated software development practices and engineering documentation expectations.
-
Experience with Confluence or similar collaboration/documentation tools.
-
Scrum certification such as CSM, PSM I, or equivalent practical Agile experience.
-
Experience working with globally distributed engineering teams
