Department Overview

At Motorola Solutions, we believe that everything starts with safety. Safety is the constant that empowers people to confidently move forward. It can fill a flight or sell out a stadium. It can care for a patient or graduate a class.

As a global leader in public safety and enterprise security, we create and connect the technologies that help to keep people safe where they live, learn, work, and play. Our integrated technology ecosystem unifies critical communications.

Job Description

This role is hybrid with the expectation to work out of our Cambridge offices during the week.

We are looking for a Senior Embedded Engineer to join our team.

You will be creating and developing embedded software for the most advanced distributed spectral monitoring systems, with modern C++17 in user space on a Linux operating system.

This is a great opportunity to take significant responsibility in a fast-paced and successful company, working alongside a talented group of like-minded Engineers on a range of fascinating applications.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
