Job Description

Do you engineer world‑class setups—and back them up on the floor?

At Pioneer Motor Bearing Company , we keep critical infrastructure and defense assets running. Our bearing engineering, manufacturing, and repair teams support large rotating equipment in power generation, while PMB Machine Works delivers precision components for aerospace and defense. We value teamwork, clear communication, strong character, and a drive to grow.

Is this you?

  • Can you interpret complex drawings and route sheets, then translate them into efficient 5‑axis setups?
  • Do you use math and geometry comfortably to solve machining challenges?
  • Are you confident editing programs at the control and documenting corrections?
  • Do you proactively suggest tooling or process changes to cut cycle time and improve quality?
  • Can you safely rig and move heavy parts using overhead cranes?

What you’ll take on

  • Set up CNC mills and multi‑axis lathes with correct tooling and offsets for manufacturing and repair of fluid film bearings, seals, and aerospace / defense parts.
  • Manufacture and inspect parts from blueprints, sketches, drawings, and verbal instructions using a range of cutting tools (including right‑angle heads).
  • Use precision measuring gear—dial calipers, micrometers, surface gauges, dial indicators—to maintain dimensional accuracy and specified tolerances.
  • Keep your area organized and hazard‑free while consistently meeting quality and throughput targets.
  • Communicate production risks early if quality, delivery, or customer requirements could be impacted.
  • What you bring

  • Proficient 5‑axis setup and operation; Journeyman‑level skill set preferred.
  • Trade / technical degree or 5+ years relevant experience / training, or an equivalent combination.
  • Ability to read / interpret technical procedures and company, customer, and governmental specifications.
  • Comfort with controls and platforms from DMG MORI, Okuma, Hyundai, Fanuc, and others.
  • Strong presentation and communication skills across teams and levels.
  • Math fluency (proportions, percentages, area, circumference, volume; algebra and geometry).
  • Manufacturing knowledge tied to fluid film bearings; familiarity with cutting fluids, finishes, tolerances, turning, drilling, milling, and abrasive processes.
  • Understanding of materials (steels, nonferrous metals, and alloys). Aerospace background is a plus.
  • Bonus capabilities

  • CAD / CAM programming experience
  • Problem‑solving mindset and ability to work independently
  • Strong computer literacy, especially with Microsoft tools
  • Physical reality of the work

  • Indoor machine shop environment
  • Frequently lift / move up to 50 lbs
  • Regular stooping, bending, crawling, reaching, standing, and walking
  • Read, write, speak, hear, focus, and comprehend complex technical information
  • Your toolbox and tech

  • Proficiencies : CAD Software; CAD / CAM Software; Machine Setups for Production Runs; AS9100; Tool / Die / Mold setups; Blueprint Reading
  • Equipment : CNC Mill (3–4 axis VMC) — Fanuc, DMG MORI, Okuma, Mazak; CNC Mill (5+ axis VMC) — DMG MORI, Okuma, Fanuc, Mazak; CNC Lathe (5+ axis) — Okuma, DMG MORI, Mazak
  • Why you’ll want to be here

  • Overtime at 2x pay for all overtime hours; vacation and holiday hours count toward overtime calculations.
  • Medical : Three plan options. We cover 95% of employee premiums and contribute meaningfully to family coverage.
  • HSA / FSA : Employer HSA contributions of $2,000 (individual) and $4,000 (dependent); FSAs available.
  • Supplemental health : Revive membership with zero‑cost access to 1,000+ generic meds, no‑cost primary‑care telehealth, mental health support, wellness coaching, and access to discounted GLP‑1 weight‑loss meds.
  • And more : Dental, vision, life, disability, plus 401(k) safe‑harbor matching and additional ancillary benefits.
  • Vacation : Start with 2.5 weeks; reach 3 weeks at year 3; scale up to 6 weeks with tenure.
  • Let’s build something remarkable

    We’re not looking for just anyone—we’re looking for the best. If you’re a 5‑axis setup expert who takes pride in your craft and wants to be valued for it, we want to meet you. If you don’t yet meet the experience bar, this role may not be the right fit—for now. Apply today.
