Job Description
The Technical Project Manager will work within a squad of other Technical Project Managers, software engineers and quality assurance engineers. As part of this squad they will oversee and share tasks for a number of projects with the other Technical Project Managers.
A Technical Project Manager is a subject-matter expert who uses their technical background to bridge the gap between the product and technical side of product development. They breathe life into a product by enacting the vision and direction defined in the product roadmap.
Typical activities involved in the delivery of a Motorola Solutions software solution for which the Technical Project Manager is responsible include:
1. Producing a project plan and agreeing this with the customer
2. Managing the development and testing of the solution in alignment with the agreed project plan
3. Deployment and customer sign-off of the solution

You will start off in the programme as a Developer, and will be responsible for writing Java, XSLT and using our in-house tools to produce Android applications.
