AI​/RPA Solutions Architect

Overview

Koniag IT Systems LLC, a Koniag Government Services company, is seeking an AI/RPA Solutions Architect with a TS/SCI security clearance to support KITS and our government customer at Langley Air Force Base, VA. We offer competitive compensation and an extraordinary benefits package including health, dental and vision insurance, 401K with company matching, flexible spending accounts, paid holidays, three weeks paid time off, and more.

The AI/RPA Solutions Architect is a technical leadership role responsible for designing, prototyping, and transitioning artificial intelligence and robotic process automation solutions that deliver measurable mission value across Air Combat Command. The role requires deep technical expertise in AI/ML, hands-on development capabilities, and the ability to translate complex operational requirements into scalable, secure, and compliant solutions across multiple classification levels.

Two specialized positions ensure parallel development pipelines:

• Position 1 (NIPRNet Architect) focuses on unclassified and CUI solutions, enabling rapid prototyping, broader user access, and cross-organizational knowledge sharing.
• Position 2 (SIPRNet/AFSCI Architect) focuses on classified solutions operating in Secret (SIPRNet) and Top Secret (AFSCI) environments, addressing intelligence, operational planning, and mission-critical applications requiring higher security.

• Position 1: NIPRNet Solutions Architect
• Focus on unclassified and CUI solutions with broad ACC enterprise applicability
• Administrative automation, logistics optimization, training tools, knowledge management
• Prototypes that can be widely shared, demonstrated, and refined with a large user base
• Typical use cases include automated report generation, natural language querying, training content generation, administrative workflow automation, and knowledge base search
• Environment: primary work on NIPRNet systems; office at JBLE with standard IT access; travel to ACC wings for training and engagement; collaboration with broader DAF and joint community
• Clearance: TS/SCI required for access to program information; day-to-day work primarily unclassified

• Position 2: SIPRNet/AFSCI Solutions Architect
• Focus on classified solutions for intelligence, operational planning, and mission-critical applications
• ISR operations support, targeting, mission planning, intelligence analysis
• Compartmented solutions for AFSCI environments with strict access controls
• Environment: work in SCIFs and secure facilities; access to SIPRNet and AFSCI; on-site work at ISR Wings; limited telework
• Clearance: TS/SCI required and actively used; currency maintenance; may require additional compartmented accesses
