What is an RPA engineer?

RPA Engineers are professionals who design, develop, and implement Robotic Process Automation (RPA) solutions to automate repetitive and rule-based business processes. They use specialized software tools to create bots that mimic human actions, streamlining workflows and increasing efficiency within organizations. RPA Engineers typically have skills in programming, process analysis, and automation tools such as UiPath, Blue Prism, or Automation Anywhere. Their role is critical in helping businesses save time, reduce errors, and improve productivity by automating routine tasks.

What is the difference between Rpa Engineer vs Rpa Developer?

AspectRpa EngineerRpa Developer
Required CredentialsTypically certifications like UiPath, Automation Anywhere, or Blue Prism; relevant technical degreesSimilar certifications; often a focus on scripting and automation tools
Work EnvironmentDesigning, implementing, and maintaining RPA solutions; collaborating with IT and business teamsDeveloping and testing automation scripts; coding and debugging RPA workflows
Employer & Industry UsageUsed across industries like finance, healthcare, and manufacturing for process automationCommonly employed in organizations adopting RPA for operational efficiency

While both roles involve automation and share similar certifications, Rpa Engineers focus on designing and overseeing RPA solutions, whereas Rpa Developers primarily build and test automation scripts. The roles often overlap, but the engineer's scope is broader, including architecture and process analysis.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an RPA engineer?

To thrive as an RPA Engineer, you need a strong understanding of automation concepts, proficiency in programming languages like Python or .NET, and experience with RPA platforms such as UiPath, Blue Prism, or Automation Anywhere, often supported by a relevant degree or certification. Familiarity with workflow design tools, process mapping, and integrating RPA solutions with enterprise systems is typically required. Analytical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication are crucial soft skills for identifying automation opportunities and collaborating with stakeholders. These skills and qualifications are vital for designing efficient automation solutions that streamline business processes and deliver measurable value.

What are some common challenges RPA engineers face when implementing automation solutions, and how can they be addressed?

RPA Engineers often encounter challenges such as integrating automation with legacy systems, managing changing process requirements, and ensuring robust error handling. To address these, it's important to collaborate closely with business stakeholders to map out detailed process flows and anticipate potential exceptions. Regular communication with IT and business teams helps resolve integration issues, while thorough testing and documentation ensure that bots remain reliable and adaptable. Continuous learning and staying updated on RPA tools also help engineers effectively tackle evolving project demands.

Job Summary
Vertiv is seeking a technically skilled and self-directed RPA / Test Automation Engineer to serve as the hands-on lead for robotic process automation and internal test automation capabilities within Vertiv's Digital organization. This individual contributor role is responsible for designing, building, and maintaining automation solutions using UiPath and Microsoft Power Automate as the primary RPA platforms, while also owning the development and evolution of Vertiv's internal test automation frameworks that support quality engineering across the SDLC. The RPA / Test Automation Engineer will operate the Digital organization and play a critical role in advancing Vertiv's Operational Excellence strategic priority by reducing manual effort, accelerating delivery cycles, and increasing process reliability across enterprise business functions.
As an individual contributor in a lead capacity, this role extends beyond hands-on delivery to include governance of Vertiv's automation capabilities and active support of the citizen developer community. The RPA / Test Automation Engineer will define and enforce automation standards, review and validate flows built by business citizen developers, and provide coaching, training, and enablement resources to expand automation adoption across the enterprise. This position partners closely with technology and business stakeholders to identify automation opportunities, prioritize the automation pipeline, and ensure that all automation solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned to Vertiv's enterprise architecture and compliance standards.
This position will be based onsite at Vertiv's Westerville, OH - HQ office location.

  • Enable Citizen Developers: Coach, train, and support business citizen developers using UiPath StudioX and Power Automate, reviewing their automation for quality, security, and compliance before production deployment.
  • Identify and Prioritize Automation Opportunities: Collaborate with business process owners, IT, and Digital stakeholders to assess and prioritize automation candidates, conduct process discovery, and build a governed automation pipeline aligned to business value.
  • Integrate Automation into CI/CD Pipelines: Embed automated test execution into CI/CD workflows, ensuring quality gates are enforced without sacrificing delivery velocity, and contribute to shift-left testing practices across Digital delivery teams.
  • Monitor, Maintain, and Optimize: Proactively monitor deployed automations and test suites for failures, performance degradation, and coverage gaps; implement corrective actions and drive continuous improvement of automation maturity metrics.
  • Evaluate Emerging Automation Technologies: Stay current on advancements in RPA, AI-driven automation (e.g., UiPath Autopilot, Power Automate Copilot), and test tooling; provide recommendations for expanding Vertiv's automation capabilities.

Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Engineering, or a related field; equivalent practical experience considered.
  • 5+ years of professional experience in automation engineering, quality assurance, or a related software engineering discipline.
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience with UiPath (Studio, Orchestrator, StudioX) and/or Microsoft Power Automate in an enterprise environment.
  • Demonstrated experience building and maintaining test automation frameworks (functional, regression, API, and/or integration testing).
