Learn more about our work: Pioneer and PMB Machine Works . The Challenge Bring complex 5‑axis setups to life — quickly, safely, and to print — while finding smarter ways to remove time from the cycle. What You’ll Tackle Set up and operate 5‑axis CNC equipment to produce/repair fluid film bearings, seals, and aerospace/defense components. Translate route sheets, blueprints, sketches, and verbal guidance into efficient setups (including right‑angle head work). Use geometric and mathematical reasoning to plan, verify, and adjust machining strategies. Hold tight tolerances using micrometers, calipers, surface gauges, and dial indicators. Edit and optimize G‑code at the machine; document all changes in the control. Escalate risks to quality, delivery, or customer requirements and help drive corrective actions. Recommend tooling, fixture, and procedural improvements to reduce run time and improve repeatability. Confidently interpret complex technical drawings and specifications. Safely rig, load, and unload heavy parts with overhead cranes. Must‑Have Background 5‑axis setup/operation proficiency; journeyman‑level capability desired. Trade/technical schooling or 5+ years related experience (or equivalent blend). Comfort with company, customer, and governmental specs/regulations. Hands‑on with DMG MORI, Okuma, Hyundai, Fanuc (and similar) platforms. Strong communicator with the ability to present to managers and collaborate cross‑functionally. Applied math skills across proportions, percentages, area, circumference, volume; algebra and geometry. Working knowledge of manufacturing/repair for fluid film bearings. Familiar with machining processes: cutting fluids, surface finishes, tolerances, turning, drilling, milling, and abrasive processes. General knowledge of steels, nonferrous metals, and alloys; aerospace background is a plus. Bonus Skills Problem‑solving mindset with a continuous improvement focus. CAD/CAM programming experience. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills. Independent, self‑directed work style. Proficiency with Microsoft and general computer literacy.
