Department Overview
The department is responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of an organization’s technology assets. This team balances "reactive" support with "proactive" maintenance and they serve as the guardians of operational continuity, ensuring that hardware, software, and networks remain secure, updated, and efficient.
Job Description

In this role, you are the final line of defense for our fast-growing video business. You won't just be checking boxes; you’ll be using high-end diagnostic tools—like oscilloscopes, multimeters, and Automated Test Equipment (ATE)—to validate that every product leaving the facility meets elite performance standards. Unlike traditional technician roles, this position sits at the intersection of Production and Design Engineering. You aren't just following a process; you are actively collaborating with Engineers to refine test procedures and drive continuous improvement through Lean methodologies.

  • Testing & Validation: Execute functional, environmental, and diagnostic tests on components and finished goods using automated test equipment (ATE), oscilloscopes, and multimeters.

  • Troubleshooting: Identify the root cause of failures at the component or circuit board level. Perform "red-line" corrections and document failures for the engineering team.

  • Maintenance: Perform routine calibration and preventive maintenance on test fixtures and laboratory equipment to ensure accuracy.

  • Documentation: Maintain precise logs of test results, pass/fail rates, and repair actions within the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) or ERP.

  • Process Improvement: Collaborate with Manufacturing Engineers to refine test procedures, reduce cycle times, and improve "first-pass" yields.

Additional Qualified Skills:

  • Equipment: Proficiency with hand tools, soldering irons, DMMs, and signal generators.
  • Physical: Ability to lift up to 35 lbs and stand for extended periods in a production environment.
  • Technical Skills: Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical blueprints.

Target Base Salary Range: $60,000  - $70,000 

Consistent with Motorola Solutions values and applicable law, we provide the following information to promote pay transparency and equity. Pay within this range varies and depends on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The actual offer will be based on the individual candidate.
