Sr. UX Researcher
1 month ago
Company Overview
At Motorola Solutions, we're guided by a shared purpose - helping people be their best in the moments that matter - and we live up to our purpose every day by solving for safer. Because people can only be their best when they not only feel safe, but are safe. We're solving for safer by building the best possible technologies across every part of our safety and security ecosystem. That's mission-critical communications devices and networks, AI-powered video security & access control and the ability to unite voice, video and data in a single command center view. We're solving for safer by connecting public safety agencies and enterprises, enabling the collaboration that's critical to connect those in need with those who can help. The work we do here matters.
Department OverviewThe UX research team at Motorola Solutions works closely with stakeholders across the organization to envision the future of public safety & video security technology, while bringing to market real-world solutions today. Our team directly supports the design and development of software across the public safety workflow. We do this through understanding the unique needs and challenges of our customers in mission critical situations through immersive ethnographic research and through rigorous evaluation of design throughout the product development process.
We value:
* Insatiable Curiosity- Someone always on the pursuit of new ideas & asking "what if..."
* Humility-- Someone with no ego. There is no ivory tower of research & design. The only thing we own is a responsibility to inspire with our work.
* Diversity of thought- We create safe spaces for diversity of thought, background & culture and we fill them with people who inspire each other in different ways.
* A sense of urgency- Our products provide critical information to our customers in the moments that matter.
* Inclusivity- We invite everyone into our UX sandbox because business success and great design require thinking as well as collaboration
* Stewardship- Great design implemented poorly is bad design. Design, product roadmaps and directional decisions cannot be done without data. We're responsible for ensuring our partners have the insights to create the best experience for our customers.
* Humor & good spirit- We take our work seriously, but not always ourselves. We work hard and have fun with it at every opportunity.
