Robotic Process Automation Engineer

One of the rapidly developing technological trends in the world is Robotic Process Automation. The technology, which is called RPA in short, is software robots that perform rule-based tasks that do not require judgment in the simplest sense, quickly and efficiently without errors. We can imagine these robots as mechanical robots on the production lines of factories. However, unlike mechanical robots, these software robots we are talking about are like virtual assistants working on the computer front-end using computer hardware. These robots are used in health, security, education, banking, and finance, etc. Its use in the field is increasing day by day. Accordingly, Robotic Process Automation Engineering has become one of the professions that gain importance and promise for the future.
The main task of the RPA Engineer is to analyze the repetitive processes in the institution where s/he works, to automate these works by using the software robots in question, and to maximize the efficiency of the company. Thanks to the developed robotic processes, long but rule-based computer tasks, in which an employee spends most of her/ his day, can be made much more productive by having these robots do the work. Let's take an example: Suppose an accountant manually enters 100 invoices each day into finance software. Considering that the minimum time for an invoice to be entered into the system is 2 minutes, this employee devotes an average of 3 hours and 20 minutes to this work every day. In other words, the worker spends almost half of her/his time on this simple and judgmental task with breaks. Software robots can perform this task approximately much faster and without errors. In this way, a time of 3 hours and 20 minutes is created for the employee to use efficiently. We would like to remind you that these robots do not have any working hours. Having an environment where the computer can work is sufficient for these robots to work 7/24. UiPath, BluePrism, Automation Anywhere, Kofax, Robusta, GenRPA, etc. are among these. Using robotic process development applications, the task of automating the tasks we have given as examples by having robots do it is the job of the RPA Engineer. These robots can work non-stop and do not need to eat, commute, require insurance, and so on. They do not need to be paid any salary if they are licensed. However, we would like to remind you that companies pay high salaries to RPA Engineers who produce this software. Universities do not have a department that directly trains RPA engineers. The number of professionals who graduated from the departments of Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence Engineering, Industrial Engineering, etc., and direct their career path toward the RPA field is increasing day by day.
