At Motorola Solutions, we believe that everything starts with our people. We're a global close-knit community, united by the relentless pursuit to help keep people safer everywhere. We build and connect technologies to help protect people, property and places. Our solutions foster the collaboration that's critical for safer communities, safer schools, safer hospitals, safer businesses, and ultimately, safer nations. Connect with a career that matters, and help us build a safer future.

We are seeking a highly analytical and proactive Senior SOC Analyst to lead our security monitoring and incident response efforts. In this role, you will serve as a technical escalation point, utilizing advanced forensics and threat-hunting techniques to defend complex environments while mentoring junior team members to enhance our collective security posture.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead advanced investigations by triaging alerts from EDR and SIEM tools, performing deep-dive analysis of network traffic and system internals to neutralize malicious activity.

• Execute proactive threat hunts using OSINT and frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK to identify indicators of compromise (IOCs) and emerging TTPs within the environment.

• Drive incident remediation by determining and applying necessary countermeasures, ensuring all high-level threats are escalated and resolved efficiently.

• Optimize security architecture by providing strategic recommendations for design improvements and product offerings to strengthen the security posture across multiple platforms.

• Mentor and develop junior staff, serving as a primary technical resource and identifying growth opportunities to improve the team's operational maturity.

• Communicate technical findings through clear, comprehensive reporting and verbal briefings tailored for both technical stakeholders and non-technical management.

• Automate and refine detection logic by interpreting and analyzing scripts (Python/PowerShell) and logs to improve the accuracy and speed of the SOC's response.

Qualifications

• Experience: 3+ years in a Security Operations Center (SOC) or similar high-intensity security role.

• Technical Proficiency: Hands-on experience with EDR tools (e.g., CrowdStrike, SentinelOne) and deep knowledge of Windows/Linux system internals.

• Education: Bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent professional experience.

• Certifications: GSEC, Security+, Network+, or similar industry-standard credentials.

• Clearance: Ability to obtain and maintain a government security clearance.

• Language: Proficiency in English is required; bilingual skills in Spanish are preferred.

This position is subject to working in high security areas governed by the US Department of Justice's "Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS) Security Policy" and therefore requires successfully passing a more stringent fingerprint background check administered by Motorola Solutions Inc. customers
