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.

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

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 NLX
  1500 or similar
• Inspection: In-process inspection tools in a quality-driven environment

• Titanium
• Cobalt Chrome (CoCr)
• Stainless Steel

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 NLX
  1500 (or similar turning center) programming experience

• 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

• Pay: Up to $60/hour (DOE)
• Per Diem: $150/day
• Overtime: Available
• Engagement: W-2 contract preferred
  • Agency payroll acceptable
  • Compliant independent business arrangements considered
