Key Responsibilities

• Facilitate Scrum ceremonies, including Daily Stand-ups, Sprint Planning, Sprint Reviews, Sprint Retrospectives, and Backlog Refinement.
• Guide cross-functional teams in applying Scrum and Agile principles to semiconductor engineering and technology projects.
• Coordinate development activities across software, firmware, hardware, verification, validation, product engineering, and manufacturing teams.
• Work closely with Product Owners, Engineering Managers, Technical Leads, and project stakeholders to prioritise backlogs and establish sprint goals.
• Monitor sprint progress, deliverables, dependencies, risks, blockers, and project milestones.
• Identify and remove impediments that affect engineering productivity and delivery timelines.
• Track Agile performance metrics, including velocity, burndown/burnup, cycle time, throughput, and sprint predictability.
• Facilitate collaboration between local and international engineering teams, including offshore or geographically distributed teams.
• Support Agile planning for semiconductor development programmes, including design, verification, validation, testing, product qualification, and engineering releases.
• Coordinate dependencies between hardware and software development, embedded systems, firmware, automation, and test engineering teams.
• Ensure user stories, engineering tasks, acceptance criteria, and deliverables are sufficiently defined before sprint execution.
• Identify opportunities to improve engineering workflows, development efficiency, defect resolution, and delivery quality.
• Facilitate risk and issue discussions and escalate technical or resource constraints to the appropriate stakeholders.
• Maintain project tracking, sprint boards, dashboards, documentation, and progress reports using Agile project management tools.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives and Agile maturity across engineering teams.
• Work with project managers and functional leaders in hybrid Agile environments where required.
