CNC Machinist – Valve Component Production

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior CNC Machinist to lead and execute high-precision machining operations for valve components. This role involves full machine setup, program editing, quality control, mentoring junior machinists, and supporting continuous process improvement. The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise, strong problem-solving ability, and a commitment to quality and efficiency in a production environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• • Independently set up, operate, and troubleshoot CNC turning and milling machines (multi-axis if applicable).

  • Machine precision valve components such as bodies, bonnets, stems, seats, and plugs.

  • Read and interpret complex engineering drawings, GD&T, and process specifications.

  • Make program edits and optimize CNC parameters (feeds, speeds, tool paths) to improve quality and reduce cycle times.

  • Conduct first-article and in-process inspections using micrometers, calipers, bore gauges, and CMM.

  • Collaborate with production, quality, and engineering teams to resolve technical and machining issues.

  • Maintain accurate documentation of production, inspection, and machine maintenance records.

  • Lead or mentor junior machinists and assist in training them on CNC best practices.

  • Suggest and implement improvements in machining processes, tooling selection, and workflow efficiency.

Key Focus Areas:

1. High-Precision Valve Machining:
   Production of critical valve components with tight tolerances, surface finish standards, and complex geometries.

2. CNC Program Editing & Optimization:
   Advanced understanding of G-code and ability to optimize tool paths, reduce cycle times, and improve accuracy.

3. Quality & Dimensional Control:
   Lead in ensuring that machined parts meet all quality and dimensional specifications through rigorous inspection practices.

4. Machine Setup Leadership:
   Full ownership of CNC setups including tooling, work holding, fixture alignment, and offset calibration.

5. Technical Guidance & Mentoring:
   Serve as a technical resource and mentor for junior machinists; train others in safety, best practices, and problem-solving.

6. Continuous Improvement & Lean Practices:
   Identify areas for improvement in machining processes, tooling, and productivity in alignment with lean manufacturing principles.

Qualifications:

• • ITI / Diploma / B.Tech in Mechanical, Tool & Die, or Precision Machining.

  • 5–8 years of hands-on CNC machining experience, preferably in valve manufacturing or high-precision parts.

  • Expertise in CNC controls such as Fanuc, Siemens, or Mazak.

  • Strong understanding of mechanical drawings, GD&T, surface finish standards, and tolerances.

  • Skilled in using a wide range of measuring and inspection tools.

  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently under pressure.
