Company Overview
At Motorola Solutions, we believe that everything starts with safety. It’s the constant that empowers people to confidently move forward. It can fill a flight or sell out a stadium. It can care for a patient or graduate a class.
As a global leader in public safety and enterprise security, we create and connect the technologies that help to keep people safe where they live, learn, work and play. Our integrated technology ecosystem unifies critical communications, video security and access control, and command center software, enabling collaboration in more powerful ways.
At Motorola Solutions, we’re ushering in a new era in public safety and security. Bring your passion, potential and talents to a career that matters.
Department Overview
The 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.

- 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.

Our team is distributed across the United States and Europe and our team works to cultivate our team culture in a virtual environment. Senior researchers are expected to participate in culture development and model our team values to create a positive, fun, and generative work environment.
We work closely with teams across the organization to understand research objectives, business priorities, as well as the platform, architecture and manufacturing constraints in order to design studies that deliver actionable insight. The ability to develop collaborative relationships with partners in design, product, and engineering is essential.
