Job description

Company Overview

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. Our critical communications, video security and command center technologies support public safety agencies and enterprises alike, enabling the coordination that’s critical for safer communities, safer schools, safer hospitals and safer businesses. Connect with a career that matters, and help us build a safer future.

Department Overview At Avigilon Alta (formerly Ava), we started with the people. A small core group of engineers got together to find an industry where we could merge innovation, passion, and simplicity to help people reach their potential. Their attention was drawn towards the world of physical security—indispensable to modern work, yet often overlooked and taken for granted. Organizations needed the tools to understand if something was happening in real-time to keep their people safe and their data and premises protected.

Ava Security was acquired by Motorola Solutions Inc in March 2022

• Improving current work, in regards to processes and tools.
• Staying up to date with the latest developments within design and technology, and suggesting short and long-term solutions.
