Company Overview

Motorola Solutions is there for our customers when everything is on the line. In extreme moments — when a hurricane lands or when a fire breaks out. And in everyday moments — when a package arrives just in time for the holiday or when a child doesn’t miss the school bus home. 

We unify voice, data, video and analytics in one integrated ecosystem to enable individuals, businesses and communities to work together in more powerful ways. To help people make better decisions, act confidently and be their best in the moments that matter. Bring your passion, potential and talents to Motorola Solutions and connect with a career that matters.


Department Overview

Job Description

You will have the opportunity to contribute to the design and development of these cutting-edge solutions as part of our video security and analytics 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.

Responsibilities include:

  • Planning and leading end user research to understand workflows, environments, needs, pain points, opportunities, and product experience issues.

  • Disseminate research insights and findings to key business stakeholders including product designers, product managers, and business unit executives.

  • Influence product strategy and priorities through driving a design-led, human centered approach to design, product development and innovation across design, product management and software development stakeholder organizations.

  • Advance the practice of experience research by evolving research and dissemination methodologies, strategy, skills and tools.

Benefits and Perks:

As a full-time employee, you are eligible to receive a comprehensive benefits package which includes a competitive salary with full benefits including extended health, dental, vision, paid vacation and holidays, 401K, ESPP, eligible to participate in social responsibility events, etc.

**Please include link to portfolio under "websites" when filling out the application or attach portfolio to application**

The researcher role does require occasional (no more than 25%) travel to customer sites or MSI offices. Travel is flexible and very often the researcher is in charge of the schedule giving them flexibility to work around any life/family constraints. During the pandemic, no one is required to travel if they do not want to. Our team has been conducting the majority of our research remotely with little impact to our projects.
