Agile Delivery & SDLC Lead – Regulated Software (MedTech)

Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI)

Role Overview

Analog Devices is seeking a senior Agile Delivery & SDLC Coach to enable high‑performing software teams operating in a regulated MedTech environment. In this role, you will act as a trusted coach and change agent—guiding multiple Agile teams and Agile Release Trains (ARTs) while ensuring strong alignment with ADI’s Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), Quality Management System (QMS), and FDA regulatory expectations.

You will partner closely with Engineering, Product, Quality, and Regulatory leaders to drive predictable delivery outcomes, elevate agile maturity, and ensure audit‑ready compliance—without sacrificing agility or innovation.

What You Will Do

Agile Leadership & Coaching

• Serve as the primary Agile coach and facilitator for multiple Agile teams and/or ARTs.
• Champion Agile and Lean best practices (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) and ensure alignment with ADI’s SDLC, policies, and regulatory requirements.
• Assess team and program‑level agile maturity and develop pragmatic, results‑driven improvement roadmaps.
• Coach Product Owners, Scrum Masters, Engineering Managers, and stakeholders to embed Agile principles into daily execution.
• Drive data‑informed decision making using agile and flow metrics.

Delivery Enablement & Execution

• Establish and sustain strong execution rhythms: iteration planning, backlog refinement, daily execution, reviews, and retrospectives.
• Improve delivery performance across flow metrics (lead time, cycle time, throughput, WIP), predictability, and release readiness.
• Proactively identify and remove impediments; manage cross‑team dependencies and escalate risks appropriately.
• Partner with Engineering and Product leadership to define measurable delivery outcomes tied to business value.
• Enable program‑level visibility across objectives, milestones, capacity planning, and dependencies.

Regulated SDLC & Compliance Alignment (MedTech / FDA 510(k))

• Act as a subject‑matter expert supporting internal and external audits, including preparation, narrative explanation, and audit logistics.
• Ensure Agile ceremonies and artifacts map cleanly to FDA‑regulated SDLC expectations (requirements, design inputs/outputs, verification, validation).
• Enable end‑to‑end traceability from user needs through implementation, testing, and release evidence.
• Promote documentation practices that are disciplined, compliant, and lightweight.
• Collaborate with Quality and Regulatory partners to align Agile execution with QMS, change control, and release governance.
• Support leadership in driving healthy portfolio‑to‑team alignment and prioritization of work.

What You Bring (Required Qualifications)

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in an enterprise software product development environment supporting multiple Agile teams and release trains.
• Proven track record of successfully transitioning teams to Agile ways of working.
• Demonstrated experience working in a regulated MedTech environment with FDA 510(k) exposure.
• Experience leading and coaching geographically distributed teams.
• Exceptional facilitation skills, with the ability to lead high‑stakes planning sessions and navigate competing priorities.
• Strong ability to translate Agile concepts into practical, compliant execution models.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence across Engineering, Product, Quality, and Regulatory functions.
• Advanced analytical, critical‑thinking, and problem‑solving abilities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Hands‑on software development background and deep knowledge of U.S. and global SDLC regulations and standards.
• Strong project and program management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a matrixed environment.
• Proven experience representing SDLC and compliance practices across cross‑functional stakeholders.
• Experience operating in compliance‑driven or safety‑critical product environments.
