About Us
At Skeletal Dynamics, we design and manufacture innovative implants and instruments for upper extremity surgery. From our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Bonita Springs, FL, we specialize in precision 5-axis machining, automation, and ISO 13485compliant processes, delivering life-changing orthopedic devices with speed, quality, and consistency.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a Lead CNC Programmer who combines expert 5-axis programming skill with a drive for automation, standardization, and scalability. This role is not just about cutting code its about building the programming systems, macros, and workflows that make our shop more efficient, compliant, and future-proof.
You will program high-precision medical implants, optimize toolpaths, and introduce automation tools that cut programming time and improve repeatability across families of parts.
Key Responsibilities
Programming & Automation
- Program complex 5-axis components using Fusion 360 and / or Hypermill.
- Develop and implement macro programming at the CAM level to automate repeatable processes.
- Build automation templates (Hypermill process templates, Fusion machining strategies) for medical implants.
- Create and maintain tool libraries, fixture libraries, and setup sheets to drive consistency.
- Continuously refine toolpaths to reduce cycle time, scrap, and variation.
Leadership & Standards
Lead the programming department and own programming priorities.Mentor programmers / operators on best practices, setup efficiency, and CAM automation.Define and enforce programming standards that align with ISO 13485 requirements.Collaborate with engineering on design-for-manufacturability (DFM) and with quality on compliance.Innovation & Continuous Improvement
Champion new software features and CAM automation capabilities.Evaluate and implement new programming methods, tools, and technologies.Drive efficiency through repeatable processes rather than one-off programming.Qualifications
7+ years of 5-axis CNC programming, with at least 2+ years in a lead or supervisory role.Medical device implant programming experience required.Expert-level knowledge of Heidenhain controls.Proficient in Fusion 360 and / or Hypermill, with a strong interest in automation templates.Experience with macro programming.Strong background in tight-tolerance machining.Demonstrated ability to document processes, build setup sheets, and enforce programming standards.Growth mindset proven track record of learning and adopting new tools.Why Join Us?
