Software Engineer

Senior Software Engineer (AI Operations) The Unified Communications team at Motorola Solutions is seeking an adaptable, high-impact Senior Software Engineer (AI Operations) to spearhead the operational stability, automation, and AI-first transformation of our Mission-Critical Push-To-Talk (MCPTT) carrier deployments. This is an AI Operations++ role sitting at the intersection of complex telecommunications engineering, modern Continuous Delivery (CD), and applied operational AI. In this position, you will own the end-to-end execution of production change controls on live carrier networks, build and integrate advanced CI/CD pipelines, and collaborate with emerging technology teams to implement AI-driven troubleshooting tools. If you bring a fast-learning mindset, excel at cross-functional collaboration with external vendors and Tier-1 carriers, and thrive in high-stakes production environments, this role offers an ideal platform to drive real-world impact. Mission-Critical Operations & Production Change Control High-Risk Maintenance Windows: Dedicate 30–40% of your working schedule to off-hours/night maintenance windows to safely execute critical production change controls, major software releases, and security patches on Linux-based private and public cloud servers. Carrier Deployment & Integration: Collaborate directly with vendor and customer counterparts to integrate product features in both lab and live production environments. DevOps Pipeline, Automation & AI Tooling Advanced Continuous Delivery: Architect, optimize, and maintain modern CI/CD deployment pipelines to transform manual release procedures into automated, frictionless delivery cycles. AI-Powered Troubleshooting & Observability: Evaluate, adopt, and integrate emerging AI tools (such as automated anomaly detection and intelligent log parsing) directly into the production change pipeline. Automated Quality Validation: Develop automated post-deployment test suites to instantly validate MCPTT server health checks and core features. Technology Adoption: Maintain a continuous learning mindset to rapidly assess new platforms, AI frameworks, and networking technologies to modernize operational toolsets. Workflow Innovation & Stakeholder Engagement Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with internal R&D, central AI Engineering, Product Management, and third-party vendors to seamlessly integrate AI-driven enhancements into production workflows. Customer-Facing Execution: Support carrier partners and end-customers during validation test cycles for newly deployed MCPTT applications. Process Optimization: Identify operational bottlenecks and pioneer context-aware, AI-assisted workflows that eliminate human error and enhance engineer on-call efficiency. Shift Flexibility: Willingness and capability to dedicate 30–40% of your working schedule to off-hours/night work for scheduled production change windows. Networking & Protocols: Strong foundational knowledge of TCP/IP networking, routing, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), and telecom management tools. DevOps & Automation: Practical proficiency with CI/CD tooling, infrastructure automation, scripting (Python, Bash, etc.), and automated testing frameworks. AI Aptitude: Demonstrated agility in evaluating and adopting emerging AI technologies, LLM APIs, or intelligent AIOps tools for real-world software workflows. Communication: Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills with experience directly engaging external vendors, Tier-1 carriers, and internal cross-functional teams.
