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. 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.

Department Overview

Voice is the lifeblood of every first responder. When seconds matter, firefighters, police, and EMS technicians rely on hardened radio operating on an always available network to connect them to mission critical intelligence and assistance. The ASTRO Consoles team is the backbone of this mission-critical communication for public safety agencies worldwide. With a storied history of supporting public safety for over 50 years, our offerings stand as the most widely used and trusted products in the dispatch center. Our dispatch solutions empower police, fire rescue, and emergency services to coordinate rapid responses when lives are on the line. Our mission is to deliver reliable, real-time, secure communication that empowers dispatchers in high-stakes environments where zero downtime is mandatory and every second counts.

Job Description

We are looking for a passionate Engineering Manager to lead and inspire our Software Test Team. The quality bar in the ASTRO Consoles team is unusually high: when our software fails, someone calling for help doesn't get through. That is the standard we all uphold. You will be responsible for quality vision for how our team meets this standard and drive improvements in our quality processes to reduce test time while increasing product quality. The latter part is where this role gets interesting. We are rebuilding how we test by incorporating AI and automation through every stage of the SDLC, from test design and environment provisioning to failure triage. We want a leader who is genuinely excited to drive that transformation. This is a hands‑on leadership role. You will be expected to read test plans critically, get into the automation and the lab, and be fluent enough in the product to know when a release is actually ready.

What you'll own

• Own the quality bar. Set system test strategy across manual verification, system test automation, and the labs the team depends on, define what coverage means for a zero‑failure product, and hold that line under schedule pressure.
• Lead AI adoption in testing. Drive daily AI usage on real problems, starting with your own work. Decide what to establish as standard practice, and what to bin.
• Build and grow the team. Coach test engineers, set clear expectations, and give direct feedback to establish a high bar without burning people out..
• Make quality legible to leadership. Report progress, risk, and issues to executives within Motorola product, engineering, and go‑to‑market functions.
• Go deep on the domain. Public safety voice is specialised, and credibility is what makes the rest of the role work. You'll build real depth in the product, the standards, and how customers actually operate.
• Improve how engineering works. Partner with development, product, and DevOps to drive better practice across the lifecycle.

Basic Requirements

• BSc or MSc in Computer Science, Automation, Telecommunications, or a related technical engineering discipline
• Experience leading a software test, QA, or system verification team - or technical/test lead experience plus a clear appetite to step into people leadership
• Solid grounding in the software development lifecycle, with real depth in testing: test strategy, system‑level verification, and test automation
• Practical, daily proficiency with AI development tools (e.g. Claude Code, Copilot, Gemini) applied to engineering problems.
• Ability to identify roadblocks and drive them promptly to resolution
• Excellent communication skills, and the ability to explain technical risk clearly to senior stakeholders
• English at B2/C1 or above
• Familiarity with Agile and Scrum practices
• Would be a plus Experience testing mission‑critical, high‑availability, or safety‑relevant systems
• Familiarity with land mobile radio, P25/ASTRO, VoIP, or real‑time audio
• Hands‑on experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation frameworks (Python, Java, or similar)
• Experience managing physical test labs or hardware‑in‑the‑loop environments
• Experience applying AI to test generation, log analysis, or failure triage
