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

In the PCR (Professional and Commercial Radio) department we are developing and delivering software used for business and mission critical communications & workflows in MOTOTRBO systems and Safety Reimagined solutions.
Our solutions are omnipresent in many verticals important in everyday lives such as healthcare, public safety, transportation, logistics, education, hospitality, energy, manufacturing, retail and many others.

We use agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban) to organize our work ranging from cross-functional teams to portfolio management.
As owners, we are responsible for end-to-end software development life-cycle, including: specification and design, implementation, testing, delivery and maintenance.

As Product Manager you'll be a member of MOTOTRBO Product Planning team that manages the MOTOTRBO radio portfolio. Team members are responsible for identifying and delivering new products and solutions as well as monitor and manage existing products and solutions.

Job Description

The candidate will be responsible for MOTOTRBO software programming and fleet management applications and supporting MOTOTRBO's EMEA operations.
