Job Description
The UiPath RPA Developer will design, build, test, and maintain automations that reduce manual effort across NMMES maintenance, logistics, and administrative workflows in Norfolk, VA. The role focuses on integrating with Navy enterprise systems, legacy applications, and modern web services to deliver measurable time savings and data-quality improvements for Sailors and Navy civilians.
The developer will work within an established UiPath practice - following the REFramework, deploying to a shared Orchestrator, and coordinating with process analysts, testers, and the Navy customer through the full automation lifecycle from opportunity intake to production hypercare.
Key Responsibilities
• Elicit and refine automation requirements with Navy process owners and CACI business analysts; translate PDDs into technical solution designs (SDDs).

• Integrate with a wide range of applications, including SAP, web portals, mainframe/terminal emulators, Microsoft 365, and REST/SOAP APIs.
• Deploy, schedule, and monitor bots via UiPath Orchestrator; manage assets, queues, and credentials with least-privilege access.
• Apply IDP capabilities (UiPath Document Understanding, AI Center) to process forms, PDFs, and scanned maintenance documents.
• Build unit tests and support UAT; produce runbooks and support artifacts for handoff to operations.
• Contribute to the CoE - coding standards, reusable snippets, environment governance, and lessons learned.
• Ensure automations are documented and delivered in accordance with DoD security and change-control requirements.
Required Qualifications
• 5+ years of hands-on development experience with 3+ years focused on UiPath (Studio, Orchestrator, Robots).
• Deep working knowledge of the UiPath REFramework and best practices for exception handling, logging, and configuration.
• Strong .NET/VB.NET or C# scripting inside UiPath; comfort with regex, LINQ, and data-table manipulation.
• Experience integrating automations with Microsoft 365, SAP, Oracle, mainframe/terminal emulators, and REST/SOAP APIs.
• Proficiency with source control (Git), CI/CD concepts, and structured release management for RPA assets.
• Working knowledge of UiPath Document Understanding or comparable IDP tooling.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation (PDD, SDD, test scripts, runbooks).
• Active DoD Secret clearance at time of hire.
Preferred Qualifications
• Prior UiPath delivery on Navy, NAVSEA, or other DoD programs.
• Experience with UiPath Automation Cloud, Test Suite, Apps, or Process Mining.
• Familiarity with Power Automate, Blue Prism, or Automation Anywhere for tool-selection conversations.
• Exposure to AI/ML-driven automation (LLM integration, generative activities).
• TS/SCI clearance.
