Job Description

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 13485–compliant 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 — it’s 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?

  • Competitive pay
  • Full benefits package (health, dental, vision, 401k, PTO)
  • Direct ownership of programming strategy and automation initiatives
  • World-class facility, CNC equipment, and CAM tools
  • Collaborative culture where innovation and discipline drive growth
