Software Engineer

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. Blue Eye Monitoring, acquired by Motorola Solutions in November 2025, uses proprietary Blackbox technology to turn existing camera networks into active security systems. Your cameras become sensors, and our AI software monitors properties for threats. Once detected, alarms are sent to our command center where Video Surveillance Technicians assess the situation and take appropriate action—whether it’s a verbal warning, calling police, or welcoming a resident home.
