Staff Engineer Embedded Services Scrum Master

Its Time to Join Stryker!

Why Join Us

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.

What Makes This Role Different

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.

What You Will Do

• 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.
