Engineering Scrum Master in West Jordan, Utah at Quality Electrical Systems

OVERVIEW:
The EE and ME Engineering Scrum Master is a key member of the Engineering Management Team (EMT) at Quality Electrical Systems. This role owns sprint governance and cross-discipline coordination for Electrical (EE) and Mechanical (ME) engineering teams, ensuring that engineering work flows efficiently from intake through delivery.
Reporting to Engineering Manager, this role sits at the intersection of engineering execution and project management. The Scrum Master protects engineering capacity, drives sprint discipline, and serves as the primary interface between Ops Project Managers and the engineering organization — keeping engineers focused on engineering work.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
Serve as the primary Scrum Master for Electrical (EE) and Mechanical (ME) engineering teams within the Engineering Management Team (EMT)
Facilitate sprint planning, daily standups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives across EE and ME disciplines
Own the engineering sprint board in Jira — maintain task accuracy, capacity visibility, and sprint health metrics
Manage the PM Deliverable Intake Form process — triage incoming requests, confirm sprint slot or flag backlog status, and communicate outcomes to Ops PMs
Enforce sprint capacity governance: lock committed work before each sprint begins and protect engineering capacity from unplanned interruptions
Coordinate cross-discipline deliverables between Electrical and Mechanical engineers, ensuring BOM milestones (30/60/90%) are tracked and met
Partner with Ops PMs on escalation routing — resolve capacity conflicts or flag Tier 4 escalations when required
Identify and surface impediments blocking engineering execution; work with Engineering Management to remove them
Support onboarding and training of engineers on sprint processes, Jira workflows, and Engineering Handbook procedures
Maintain and improve sprint governance documentation, swim lanes, and RASIC artifacts as the process matures
Track and report sprint velocity, OTD contribution metrics, and capacity utilization to Engineering Management leadership
