Why This Role Exists

BPI Medical is bringing in additional programming support to stabilize and accelerate production of orthopedic and spinal medical devices. This role exists to ensure clean program release, safe prove-outs, and stable handoff to production while maintaining the quality standards required in a regulated medical environment.

This is a hands-on, floor-facing programming role — not a desk-only CAM position.

The Work You’ll Be Doing

In this contract role, you will:

• Program, prove out, and support 5-axis VMC and CNC turning operations
• Take jobs from print → program → proven process
• Partner closely with machinists and leads during safe run-up and handoff
• Support first articles, offsets, tooling, probing strategies, and collision avoidance
• Release clean, documented programs ready for stable production
• Improve cycle time, tool life, and process reliability where practical

Machines, Controls & Equipment

You’ll work with equipment such as:

• 5-Axis VMCs: Matsuura MX-520 (strongly preferred)
• Mills: Haas CNC mills
• Turning: Haas lathe
• Turning (Nice to Have): DMG MORI NLX1500 or similar
• Inspection: In-process inspection tools in a quality-driven environment

What We’re Looking For

Required (Non-Negotiables):

• Hands-on 5-axis CNC programming with prove-out support
• Strong experience programming and supporting Haas mills and lathes
• Comfort machining Ti / CoCr / SS in a medical or quality-driven environment
• Floor execution strength: offsets, tool compensation, probing strategies, safe run-up
• Ability to partner with machinists to stabilize production

Strongly Preferred:

• Matsuura MX-520 programming experience
• Simultaneous 5-axis programming background

Nice to Have:

• DMG MORI NLX1500 (or similar turning center) programming experience

What Success Looks Like

• Programs released cleanly and supported through prove-out
• Stable, repeatable production handoff to the floor
• Setup sheets, tool lists, and offset strategies clearly documented
• Improved cycle time, tool life, and process stability where practical
