Senior Systems Integration Engineer

Motorola Solutions•San Mateo, CA

3d•$120,000 - $160,000

About The Position

Motorola Solution's Access Control Division is redefining how people experience the spaces they move through, starting at the front door. Our mission is to make physical environments smarter, safer, and more seamless through modern access control and automation technology that people rely on every day. We’re building an industry-leading platform at meaningful scale, and we’re looking for engineers who want to shape the future of physical-meets-digital systems. This is a place where you’ll work on real-world problems that span distributed systems, hardware-adjacent software, security, and high-availability cloud services used by organizations around the world.

Requirements

A professional background that touches both Electrical Engineering and Firmware. You should be able to read a schematic as easily as you write C code.
Experience writing functional, "proof-of-concept" code in C to test hardware features and communication protocols (I2C, SPI, BLE, etc.).
Ability to translate high-level product requirements into specific hardware and firmware constraints.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills; you must be able to explain hardware constraints to software developers and vice versa.
Willingness to travel to Asia 1–2 times per year and occasionally join evening syncs with overseas partners.
B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
Bachelors Degree
5+ years of engineering experience
Legal authorization to work in the U.S. indefinitely is required. Employer work permit sponsorship is not available for this position

Nice To Haves

Hands-on experience or strong working knowledge of FreeRTOS or Zephyr is a major plus.

Responsibilities

Define technical requirements for new products, ensuring electrical and firmware architectures are aligned to support cloud and mobile features.
Conduct "scrappy" firmware and hardware tests to validate architectural assumptions. You’ll build proof-of-concepts to answer the "Can we do this?" questions early in the design cycle.
Work directly with our electrical design team in Culver City and coordinate with Mechanical, Industrial Design, Cloud, and Mobile teams to ensure a cohesive system design.
Collaborate with our CM and JDM partners in Asia to oversee design execution and ensure our architectural standards are met during development.
Perform initial board bring-up and hardware/software interface validation on early prototypes.
Use bench tools (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) to debug system-level issues and optimize hardware for power and performance.
