Somerville, United States Motorola Solutions Full time
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 Overview

Motorola Solutions is on a mission to make watching live video obsolete and accelerate investigations. We are building a cloud-based platform that automatically connects with cameras, processes and analyzes their content and only forward actionable alerts to our customers. We bring advanced video and analytics capabilities to public safety and commercial customers including healthcare, airports, retail, critical infrastructure and public venues. Video is no longer reactive - looking back at what has taken place - but it also informs proactively, issuing alerts in real-time when a person, object or vehicle appears or a perimeter is crossed. This critical intelligence enables users to take the right action more quickly.

You will develop and execute the product vision and roadmap working collaboratively with our product management, user experience and AI teams. You will also grow and lead a world class team to build and scale our engineering organization around analytics delivery for our growing camera portfolio. As part of the senior technology leadership in the company, you collaborate with Directors and Vice Presidents in your parent organization as well your customer, stakeholder organizations to influence, communicate, or be part of major decisions. You are equally comfortable talking tech with developers, user experience with designers, positioning with product marketers, numbers with finance and marketing, and strategy with executive leadership.

We are looking for someone to inspire and motivate our teams to think big and help them align with the vision and strategy, built on a culture of innovation.
