/Sounds like the English word "chamb" + "eh" (as in "egg") + "AHR" (as in "art")/
To work hard, to go to the job, to earn your living with effort in Mexico. It's the quintessential Mexican informal verb for those eight daily hours that pay the rent and the tacos.
“I've been chambeando since seven without a break.”
“Gotta chambear to pay the bills.”
“What are you chambeando at now?”
