Application close date: Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the requisition is closed. At Blue Origin, we envision millions of people living and working in space for the benefit of Earth. We’re working to develop reusable, safe, and low-cost space vehicles and systems within a culture of safety, collaboration, and inclusion. Join our team of problem solvers as we add new chapters to the history of spaceflight! As a member of the Blue Origin family of companies Honeybee Robotics has been at the forefront of robotics for over 40 years, establishing ourselves as pioneers in developing novel exploration systems for the most extreme planetary environments. At our Southern California location, we look to "Touch Life" by supporting planetary science, including every NASA Mars rover since Spirit and Opportunity. We aim to "Mine the Sky" through the development of practical In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) solutions. We search for technically brilliant individuals in engineering, software, and support fields who take ownership of their work, enjoy collaborating in teams, and have a laser focus on the details that drive excellence. Honeybee Robotics is looking for a Software Engineer III to develop software for a robotic lunar rover mission. This will be the first American robotic rover to explore the lunar surface and enable the collection of valuable scientific data. You will be a critical part of the team, responsible for negotiating requirements with stakeholders and developing the Ground Data System (GDS) and related software. You will work alongside mission operations working groups, conduct mission simulations, and integrate the GDS into the Mission Operations Center. Software development and systems engineering skills will be required to design, develop, and test a robust software solution for a time-constrained lunar mission. Creative problem-solving and a proactive approach will be critical to your success in this role. **Planned Tasks / Respo
