About The Position

At Motorola Solutions, we believe that everything starts with our people. We’re a global close-knit community, united by the relentless pursuit to help keep people safer everywhere. We build and connect technologies to help protect people, property and places. Our solutions foster the collaboration that’s critical for safer communities, safer schools, safer hospitals, safer businesses, and ultimately, safer nations. Connect with a career that matters, and help us build a safer future. Silent Sentinel, a growing Motorola Solutions company, specializes in surveillance equipment; most notably long range surveillance for border protection. The products are typically aimed at public safety, and commit to Motorola Solution’s ‘Solving for Safer’ campaign. The engineering department is responsible for the development of products in multiple disciplines, namely electronics, firmware, software and mechanics. It must carry out the development life-cycle, which includes designing and testing products before handing over to production with relevant documentation. The team is agile, and tends to work on multiple parallel projects to suit the demands of the sector. It therefore requires members who will thrive in such a quick-paced environment. In this role, you will be an integral part of our dynamic, fast-paced firmware & software team. This role will be focused on R&D/design, manufacturing and customer support. We are looking for a proactive contributor who thrives on collaboration and yet can execute independently with minimal supervision. The ideal candidate will handle multiple projects, self-identifying priorities and ensuring alignment with department delivery goals. This role is based in Melville, NY and the candidate must live in the Greater Area as you will be expected to work in office on a hybrid schedule.
