Job Description

Motorola Solutions Applied Technology is seeking a forward-thinking, technically grounded Business Development & Field Innovation Manager to drive growth and market expansion across our Go-To-Market (GTM) portfolio. Unlike traditional sales or business development positions, this role bridges business strategy, hands-on field engagement, customer-led innovation, and cross-portfolio technology integration. You will focus on scaling field service engineering capabilities, establishing formal funded customer-facing training programs, leading tactical field demonstration events, and channeling frontline operational feedback into next-generation Internal Research & Development (IR&D) requirements.

In this role, you will work directly with defense and mission-critical end customers, field service representatives (FSRs), Business Development and product development engineering teams across Motorola Solutions and its family of companies.

Key Responsibilities

1. Field Service Engineering Expansion & Paid Experiments

  • Drive Paid Field Experiments: Develop strategies to convert pilot projects, trials, and tactical experiments into revenue-generating, customer-funded field evaluations.
  • FSR Team Collaboration: Partner closely with Field Service Representatives (FSRs) to identify new operational use cases, test environments, and field validation scenarios for mission-critical technology.
  • Operational Validation: Oversee field testing and validation of Motorola Applied Tech equipment in complex, contested, or harsh operational environments to prove real-world capability.

2. Technical Enablement & Training Development

  • Manufacturer Training Program: Establish, launch, and manage a standardized manufacturer training curriculum for end customers and technical operators across all Applied Tech GTM products.
  • Enablement Ecosystem: Build training pipelines that improve customer adoption, increase product proficiency, and generate recurring service/training revenue streams.

3. Sales Enablement & Strategic Field Events

  • Tactical Demonstrations: Lead, organize, and execute high-impact funded field events, live operational demonstrations, and customer capability exercises designed to accelerate sales pipelines.
  • Customer-Centric Innovation: Work alongside defense and government end users during field events to capture real-time operational pain points, feedback, and unfulfilled mission needs.

4. IR&D Alignment & Cross-Company Integration

  • Requirements Translation: Bridge customer operational feedback directly to engineering teams to draft strategic requirements for future IR&D projects.
  • Cross-Portfolio Integration: Drive joint solutioning and cross-development across the broader Motorola Solutions defense portfolio—integrating technologies from Silvus Technologies (tactical MIMO radios), D-Fend Solutions (counter-UAS systems), CRFS (spectrum monitoring & RF intelligence), and Applied Tech.
  • Defense Strategy Alignment: Act as a central point of contact to harmonize defense customer needs and mission objectives across all Motorola Solutions business units.
  • Expanded Paid Field Programs: Consistent growth in customer-sponsored field evaluations and paid engineering trials.
  • Scalable Training Ecosystem: A fully operational manufacturer training program that drives customer self-sufficiency and recurring revenue.
  • Engineering-to-Market Synergy: Direct line of sight from customer field observations to funded IR&D concepts and integrated cross-company product roadmaps.
  • Strong Defense Relationships: Positioned as a trusted technical advisor to defense end-users and tactical operators.

Required Qualifications & Background:

  • Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Systems Engineering, Business, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent military/operational experience) with 7+ years of experience in technical business development, field service engineering, systems integration, or operational technology deployment within the Defense / DoD sector.
  • Hands-On Technical Aptitude: Comfort operating and testing tactical communication, RF, EW, or counter-UAS hardware in the field.
  • Defense & Federal Domain Expertise: Deep understanding of military operational concepts, defense acquisition processes, and mission-critical communication requirements.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Proven track record of translating complex customer mission needs into actionable technical requirements for engineering teams.
  • Clearance: Active US Security Clearance (or eligibility to obtain one) is required.

Preferred Skills & Attributes:

  • Experience working directly with tactical communications, MANET systems, RF spectrum monitoring, or counter-drone technology (experience with Silvus, D-Fend, or CRFS hardware is a major plus).
  • Demonstrated ability to create technical curriculum or conduct operator-level training.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with an ability to thrive in non-traditional BD roles that require both strategic thinking and field-level execution.
  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to build consensus across multi-company matrix organizations.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
