At Motorola Solutions, we create technologies our customers refer to as their lifeline. Our technology platforms in communications, software, video and services help our customers work safely and more efficiently.

Bring your passion, potential and talents to Motorola Solutions, and help us usher in a new era in public safety and security.
Department Overview
The research team at Motorola Solutions is tasked with helping our stakeholders across the organization envision the future of technology, while bringing to market real-world solutions today.

Our technologies help firefighters ensure every last team member makes it out of a building, police officers can make informed decisions, and businesses can keep their people and property protected.

You will have the opportunity to contribute to the design and development of these cutting-edge solutions as part of our team. We seek problem-solvers who are eager to rise to the challenges of a continuously evolving technological industry, and those who want to make an impact on the safety of people and businesses globally.
We value:
Insatiable Curiosity - always on the pursuit of new ideas and asking "what if…"
Humility - no ego. There is no ivory tower of research and 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, and culture and we fill them with people we inspire each other to think 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 design sandbox, because business success and great design require design thinking as well as collaboration.
Stewardship- great design implemented poorly is bad design. We're responsible for ensuring we're delivering the right experiences to 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.
