Key Responsibilities

• Set up, program, and operate the NS CNC Elara 2 (3 or 4-axis configuration) for small-part production
• Create and optimize toolpaths in Fusion 360 CAM for complex, miniature watch components
• Perform precision machining on small-scale parts (experience with watchmaking-scale or micro-machining preferred)
• Ensure high-quality finishes, accurate tolerances, and efficient production runs
• Collaborate on design refinements using Fusion 360 (CAD/CAM) as needed

Requirements

• Proven experience machining small, intricate parts (watchmaking, jewelry, micro-machining, or similar highly preferred)
• Strong proficiency in Autodesk Fusion 360, particularly CAM for CNC programming and toolpath generation
• Hands-on experience with desktop or precision CNC mills (direct experience with the NS CNC Elara 2 is a significant asset)
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision while maintaining strict quality standards
• Located in or willing to work on-site in Lethbridge, Alberta (no remote option)

What We Offer
