RPA Developer

Location: Langley AFB, VA

Required Clearance: Top Secret/SCI

Since 1999, ITEC has delivered mission-critical support to the DoD and Intelligence Community. Now part of ManpowerGroup Public Sector (MGPS), we continue that work with expanded capabilities. Employees hired through this process will join MGPS and receive a comprehensive benefits package and competitive pay. 

Job Description:

The Robotic Process Automation (RPA) Developer provides dedicated technical support, development, and advisory services for AI and RPA integration within ACC/A589 classified environments; supports user-driven innovation challenges and in-person facilitation; ensures compliance with cybersecurity, data governance, and network-specific requirements for SIPRNet and AFSCI operations.

• Designs, prototypes, and deploys automation solutions that directly support Air Combat Command's operational mission.
• This is a hands-on development role. Write bots, test them with actual users, refine them based on operational feedback, and deliver solutions that Airmen use every day.
• Measured by throughput: a minimum of three prototypes per quarter and two operational transitions per quarter, working in parallel with another RPA Developer to maintain continuous delivery.

Essential Job Functions:

RPA Prototyping & Development:

• Conduct workflow discovery interviews with ACC A589 personnel to identify automation opportunities.
• Assess A589 processes for automation potential using structured intake criteria (inputs, decision points, data sources, manual workload burden).
• Design and develop RPA solutions using UiPath and Microsoft Power Automate on enterprise-approved platforms.
• Build functional prototypes within 2-4 week cycles that users can test in realistic A589 mission contexts.
• Maintain a personal development pipeline of 2-3 concurrent use cases to sustain quarterly output targets.

Iterative Refinement & User Validation:

• Conduct 2-3 iterative refinement cycles with A589 operational users before transitioning solutions.
• Incorporate A589 user feedback to improve bot accuracy, reliability, and usability.
• Test bots across appropriate classification levels (NIPRNet, SIPRNet, AFSCI as assigned).
• Validate solutions against real operational data and edge cases identified by users.

Solution Transition & Sustainment:

• Deliver complete technical documentation including architecture diagrams, configuration details, and data flow specifications.
• Create tailored user training packages and operational SOPs for each transitioned workflow.
• Develop Government sustainment plans enabling ACC A589 personnel to maintain and enhance solutions independently.
• Provide all source code, configuration files, and integration specifications to the Government.
• Conduct knowledge transfer sessions with Government personnel who will sustain the solution.

Cross-Wing Scaling & Collaboration:

• Document lessons learned and adaptation guidance for solutions that may benefit other ACC wings.
• Collaborate with AI/RPA ACC A589 Solutions Architect to identify cross-wing scaling opportunities.
• Contribute to the enterprise solution catalog organized by mission function.
• Support mobile training teams during wing visits to demonstrate transitioned RPA capabilities.

Experience:

• 3+ years of hands-on RPA solution development and deployment experience.
• Proven track record delivering operational RPA bots from discovery through production deployment.
• Experience with iterative development methodologies and user-centered design.
• Federal government or DoD RPA experience strongly preferred.

Certifications (Required):

• UiPath Certified RPA Associate – Required
• Microsoft Power Automate certification – Required
• CompTIA Security+ (DoD 8140.03 baseline) – Required

Certifications (Preferred):

• Power Platform Fundamentals (PL-900)
• UiPath Advanced RPA Developer
• Microsoft Power Platform Developer Associate

Technical Competencies:

• Expert-level proficiency with UiPath Studio, Orchestrator, and Automation Cloud.
• Expert-level proficiency with Microsoft Power Automate (cloud flows, desktop flows, process advisor).
• Strong understanding of Power Platform ecosystem (Power Apps, Power BI integration).
• Experience with API integration, database connectivity, and data transformation.
• Knowledge of both exception handling, logging, and error recovery patterns.
• Familiarity with version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines for RPA deployments.

Performance Expectations:

Measured against clear, documented output targets:

• Minimum 3 prototypes per quarter (functional bots validated by users in test environments).
• Minimum 2 operational transitions per quarter (bots accepted by COR and integrated into daily operations with full documentation).
• 2-4 week prototyping cycles per solution (from discovery kickoff to user-testable bot)
• 100% documentation compliance (every transitioned solution includes technical specs, user training, SOPs, and sustainment plan).
• These are not stretch goals - These are baseline expectations derived from the teams proven RPA delivery model at other military organizations.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience supporting Air Force or ACC mission sets.
• Background in intelligence, ISR, or combat operations workflows.
• Familiarity with DoD data governance and security compliance requirements.
• Experience developing bots that operate across NIPRNet and SIPRNet environments.
• Previous work with Advana, AskSage, or other DoD enterprise platforms.
• Understanding of AI/ML integration with RPA workflows.
