NC - Servo Valve Technician

As an NC - Servo Valve Technician at Paragon Technologies, your primary responsibilities include inspecting, testing, and repairing a variety of hydraulic, servo, and proportional valves. You’ll engage in disassembling components for service, conducting thorough inspections to identify worn, damaged, or non-functioning parts, and rebuilding valves for optimal performance.

To qualify for the NC - Servo Valve Technician role at Paragon Technologies, you should possess mechanical ability and a basic understanding of hydraulic valves. Experience using hand tools, measuring devices, electrical testing equipment, and the ability to read blueprints will be advantageous. A hands-on technical background is essential for success in this position.

Key skills for an NC - Servo Valve Technician at Paragon Technologies include the ability to safely operate fork trucks and lifts, proficiency in using various measuring tools, and a strong capacity for multitasking in a busy shop environment. You must also have effective problem-solving skills to analyze and repair hydraulic systems efficiently.

An NC - Servo Valve Technician at Paragon Technologies typically works 40-50 hours per week, with potential for overtime depending on the workloads and project demands. Flexibility is key, as the fast-paced nature of this role often requires readiness to handle multiple tasks simultaneously.

At Paragon Technologies, safety is a top priority for the NC - Servo Valve Technician role. Employees are required to use personal protective equipment, such as Viton gloves and safety glasses, while performing tasks. Regular safety training and adherence to safety protocols further ensure a secure working environment.

When troubleshooting a malfunctioning servo valve, I start by reviewing the valve’s operational data and any error codes, followed by a systematic inspection of its mechanical and electronic components before making necessary repairs or adjustments.

Rebuilding a servo valve involves disassembling the unit, inspecting each part for wear or damage, cleaning components, and replacing any faulty parts before reassembling and testing the valve to ensure it meets performance standards.

In my work with hydraulic valves, I regularly use hand tools such as wrenches and screwdrivers, as well as measuring tools like micrometers and calipers to ensure precise measurements and quality repairs.

I prioritize tasks based on urgency and complexity, ensuring that critical repairs are addressed first while maintaining a steady workflow on routine tasks, allowing me to manage my time efficiently.

While operating heavy machinery, I always conduct a thorough pre-use inspection, adhere to operational guidelines, and ensure I am wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment to promote safety in the workplace.

I have hands-on experience using electrical testing equipment such as multimeters and oscilloscopes to diagnose issues in servo systems and ensure all electronic components are functioning correctly.

I stay updated on advancements in hydraulic technology by attending workshops, reading industry publications, and participating in relevant online forums and webinars to expand my knowledge and skills.

One challenge I've encountered is diagnosing intermittent valve failures, which requires a detailed approach in troubleshooting; I use systematic testing and analysis to isolate the underlying issues.

I ensure quality control in my repairs by adhering to standard operating procedures, conducting thorough inspections post-repair, and testing each unit to verify it meets operational specifications before being released.

If I find a defective component, I document the issue, remove it from the assembly, and replace it with a quality part, followed by a detailed inspection and testing to confirm the repair has restored functionality.
