Full Job Description
Department Overview
Motorola Solution's Video Division is defining the future of the security industry through innovative end-to-end-solutions. We're changing the landscape of the surveillance industry through advanced award-winning AI based surveillance systems. Artificial Intelligence is transforming the world and our team is advancing the field as it applies to the surveillance industry. We are proud to be industry leaders in video analytics with products like Appearance Search and Unusual Motion Detection along with our cloud service platform. You will have the opportunity to contribute to intelligent camera surveillance systems through cutting edge research and software engineering.
Job Description

We are looking for a Technical Program Manager (TPM) to join our Video Security & Access Control (VS&A) Engineering organization. This is a high-impact role where you will drive the execution of complex, cross-functional programs that define the future of physical security-from AI-powered cameras to cloud-based access management systems.

In this role, you will report directly to the AVP of Engineering, Video & Access Control, serving as a strategic partner to engineering leadership and a primary driver of technical delivery.

The Role:

As a TPM, you are more than a project manager; you are a technical leader who understands the "how" as much as the "when." You will navigate the intersection of hardware, firmware, cloud software, and AI analytics. You will be responsible for orchestrating the entire product development lifecycle, ensuring that our roadmap is translated into high-quality, scalable solutions that protect people and property worldwide.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Program Lifecycle Management: Lead the end-to-end delivery of complex programs, managing dependencies across hardware, embedded software, cloud, and mobile teams.
  • Strategic Alignment: Work closely with the AVP of Engineering and Product Management to translate business strategy into actionable technical milestones and execution plans.
  • Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify technical bottlenecks, resource constraints, and cross-functional dependencies. Develop mitigation strategies to keep programs on track.
  • Technical Problem Solving: Dive deep into architectural discussions and technical hurdles. Use your engineering background to help teams make trade-offs between scope, schedule, and technical debt.
  • Stakeholder Communication: Provide transparent, data-driven updates to executive leadership. You will be the "single source of truth" for program health, budget, and timelines.
  • Process Excellence: Continuously improve the VS&A engineering execution model, implementing best practices for Agile, Waterfall, or Hybrid methodologies as needed.


Qualifications & Skills:
  • Experience: 8+ years of experience in Technical Program Management or Engineering Leadership, specifically within a product development environment.
  • Domain Expertise: Proven track record in one or more of the following: Physical Security (VMS/ACS), IoT, Embedded Systems, Cloud Infrastructure (AWS/Azure), or AI/Video Analytics.
  • Strategic Thinking: Experience working directly with executive-level leadership (VP/AVP level) to align engineering output with business goals.
  • Execution Focus: Expert-level knowledge of SDLC and hardware development cycles. You know how to get things done in a fast-paced, global organization.
  • Communication: Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and vice versa.


Target Base Salary Range: 120,000 CAD - 166,000 CAD

Consistent with Motorola Solutions values and applicable law, we provide the following information to promote pay transparency and equity. Pay within this range varies and depends on job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. The actual offer will be based on the individual candidate.
