What are the typical responsibilities of an RPG developer working with IBM iSeries/AS400 systems?

RPG Developers are often responsible for designing, coding, testing, and maintaining applications on the IBM iSeries/AS400 platform. Typical tasks include modifying legacy RPG programs, troubleshooting system errors, updating existing code to meet new business requirements, and integrating software with other enterprise systems. They may also work closely with business analysts, end-users, and IT support teams to gather requirements and ensure solutions align with organizational needs.

What is an RPG?

An RPG job typically refers to a role involving the development and maintenance of applications using the IBM RPG programming language, primarily for IBM i (AS/400) systems. RPG developers are responsible for writing, debugging, and optimizing code to support business applications. They often work with databases, CL programs, and modern technologies to integrate with legacy systems.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the RPG position, and why are they important?

To thrive as an RPG (Report Program Generator) Developer, you need a strong background in programming with RPG languages (especially RPG IV or RPGLE), experience with IBM iSeries/AS400 systems, and a good understanding of database management. Familiarity with tools such as IBM i Navigator, CL programming, SQL, and change management software is important, and some roles may require certifications in IBM system management. Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and collaborative communication skills help RPG Developers to deliver effective business solutions. These skills are crucial to ensure that legacy systems run efficiently and integrate smoothly with modern business processes.

IBM i / RPG Developer (Manufacturing Systems) - Hybrid

MJ Celco

Schiller Park, IL • On-site

$120K - $140K/yr

Full-time

Posted 18 days ago

Job description

About MJ Celco

MJ Celco is a family-owned precision metal stamping and sheet metal fabrication company headquartered in Schiller Park, Illinois, with an additional manufacturing facility in Apodaca, Nuevo León, Mexico. We're IATF 16949-certified and serve customers who depend on us for precision, reliability, and continuous improvement - and we're investing in modernizing the systems that keep our shop floor running.

Position Overview

We are seeking a skilled and motivated IBM i / RPG Developer to join our IT manufacturing systems team in a hybrid capacity. In this role, you will design, develop, maintain, and modernize core applications that power our manufacturing operations-including production scheduling, inventory control, shipping/receiving, and shop floor management.

The ideal candidate bridges traditional RPG development with modern DevOps practices, ideally with experience in Git-based version control and modern development environments like Microsoft Visual Studio Code (using the Code for IBM i extension). Familiarity with modern IBM i build tools such as IBM Bob (TOBi) is a strong plus - we're happy to train the right candidate on our specific toolchain.

Work Schedule & Location (Hybrid)

  • Employment Type: Full-Time
  • Schedule: Hybrid (3 days on-site, 2 days remote per week).
  • On-Site Location: Schiller Park, Illinois
  • Systems Scope: The manufacturing systems this role supports are shared across our Schiller Park, IL and Apodaca, Mexico facilities; all development work is performed from Schiller Park - no relocation or international travel required.
  • On-Site Purpose: Collaborative team meetings, direct partnership with executive team and plant/floor management, physical hardware integrations (scanners, scale systems, printers), and critical production deployment support.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manufacturing Application Development: Design, code, test, and support applications using RPG IV (RPGLE), Free-Form RPG, and Control Language (CL/CLLE).
  • Modern Development Environments: Write and debug code using Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code) leveraging the Code for IBM i ecosystem to drive modern development practices.
  • DevOps & Build Automation: Set up, configure, and maintain automated build processes using IBM Bob (TOBi) to manage object compilation and dependency tracking across environments.
  • ERP Maintenance & Integration: Support, configure, and customize our core manufacturing ERP system.
  • Shop Floor & Supply Chain Integration: Develop and maintain integrations for shop floor data collection, barcode scanning, warehouse management systems (WMS), and shipping/logistics platforms.
  • Database Management: Write and optimize complex DB2 database queries, triggers, and stored procedures to ensure accurate, real-time tracking of inventory and production metrics.
  • System Modernization: Actively migrate legacy codebase - including programs originally written in System/36-era RPG and CL - to Free-Form RPG, and adopt VS Code integrated with Git-based source control.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely (both virtually and in-person during on-site days in Schiller Park) with executive management, plant managers, supply chain teams, and business analysts to translate floor-level requirements into technical solutions.

Qualifications & Skills

Required Technical & DevOps Skills:

  • Programming Languages: Proficiency in RPG IV and Free-Form RPG (ILE RPG), and CL/CLLE. Experience modernizing legacy System/36-era RPG and CL programs to current IBM i standards is highly valued - this is a real, ongoing part of our environment, not just a nice-to-have.
  • IDE Experience: Proficient in using Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code) with the Code for IBM i suite (or Rational Developer for i) for day-to-day development.
  • Build & Version Control: Strong experience with Git for version control. Familiarity with modern IBM i build tools (e.g., IBM Bob / TOBi) is a plus - we're happy to train the right candidate on our specific build pipeline.
  • Database: Strong experience with DB2 for i and advanced SQL (Embedded SQL, DDL, DML).
  • Concepts: Solid understanding of modular programming (service programs, binding directories, modules).

Manufacturing-Specific Qualifications:

  • ERP Experience: 4+ years of experience working with manufacturing ERP systems on the IBM i platform.
  • Supply Chain Tech: Experience handling EDI standards (e.g., ANSI X12, EDIFACT) for processing purchase orders, shipping notices, and invoices.
  • Integration Experience: Familiarity with integrating IBM i with shop floor hardware (e.g., Zebra printers, RF scanners, scale systems).

Soft Skills & Hybrid Requirements:

  • High urgency and strong problem-solving skills to minimize manufacturing downtime.
  • Self-motivated, collaborative, and highly disciplined to work effectively during remote days.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical details to non-technical plant staff both in-person and via virtual collaboration tools (e.g., Teams, Slack, Zoom).

Education & Experience

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Industrial Engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 5+ years of experience developing in an IBM i (AS/400) environment, preferably within a manufacturing or distribution setting.
