Zebra Technologies is an information-technology provider best known for barcode scanners, RFID readers, and rugged mobile computing devices. The most recent headcount data lists about 4,448 employees worldwide, with 231 new hires and 264 recorded departures, yielding a modest net contraction. The organisation retains a sizeable technical and commercial workforce that supports product development, sales, manufacturing, and corporate operations across multiple geographies.
Engineering is the largest discipline, employing roughly 1,420 people and accounting for nearly one-third of total staff. Customer-facing work is also prominent: Sales & Support comprises close to 1,011 employees, or about 23 % of the workforce. Mid-sized groups include Marketing & Product (432 employees) and Operations (362 employees). Corporate functions such as Business Management (286), Finance & Administration (282), and Information Technology (244) collectively represent another significant segment of the organisation. Human Resources (116) and Program & Project Management (105) round out the major departments, while an "Other" category of 190 employees captures specialised roles that do not fit neatly into the primary groups.
Zebra Technologies maintains a geographically dispersed workforce with a strong North American footprint. Chicago hosts the largest concentration at approximately 538 employees, while New York follows with around 293. Additional U.S. hubs include Atlanta, Austin, San Francisco, and San Diego, each supporting smaller site-based teams. Outside the United States, Bengaluru in India and Brno in the Czech Republic serve as notable engineering and support centres, and Mississauga in Canada contributes a modest contingent. A substantial “Other” category—totaling more than 3,300 employees—reflects remote staff and numerous smaller offices across the EMEA and APAC regions, underscoring the company’s global operating model.
