Why Us?

Fillauer is a global leader in orthotic and prosthetic innovation, empowering clinicians and patients to achieve their best functional outcomes. With manufacturing and R&D locations in Tennessee, Utah, and Sweden, Fillauer supports a strong upper limb product line, a robust offering of prosthetic feet, and a wide range of orthotic devices, tools, equipment, components, and materials.

Founded over a century ago, Fillauer is dedicated to helping individuals with limb loss and limited mobility return to daily activities and achieve new heights. Today, we are in an exciting period of growth and investment. We have recently added state‑of‑the‑art, high‑efficiency CNC lathes and mills, providing machinists with modern, reliable equipment designed for precision, productivity, and repeatability. Recent shop upgrades have reduced set‑up times and allow machinists to focus on quality work rather than working around outdated equipment.

We are seeking experienced machinists who want to be part of a forward‑moving organization that values skilled craftsmanship, continuous improvement, and long‑term investment in both our people and our capabilities.
