Job Description

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

Our Guardian Command development team provides mission critical software to UK emergency service agencies, with our primary focus on control room and mobile solutions including Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) and Mobile Data.

Guardian Command CAD and Mobile Data (and supporting products) are used 24/7 by emergency service agencies to deliver emergency and non-emergency response to ensure public safety. Our solutions are hosted at Motorola’s secure hosting services, and accessed remotely.

Based in Leicester, we are a recent acquisition by Motorola, and have around 50 employees. We have been developing solutions since the 1980s, and always strived to be innovative and forward thinking. Now, as part of Motorola Solutions, we continue to expand with future opportunities in the UK and beyond.

We have a relaxed but hard working environment where jeans and t-shirts are the norm and good ideas and debate are encouraged.

You’ll have the opportunity to join us at social events and team sessions
