Computer Science & Robotics Instructor

Benilde–St. Margaret’s School seeks a full-time Computer Science  & Robotics Instructor to join our nationally recognized engineering program. BSM Engineering is a premier learning and teaching experience that expands expectations beyond a traditional robotics curriculum. Our students compete internationally at a collegiate level and engage in authentic design, fabrication, and systems-based problem solving.

This position is ideal for an educator—or industry professional transitioning into education—who values design thinking, collaborative problem solving, and student-centered learning over traditional lecture-based instruction.

About the Program

BSM Engineering operates in a high-quality makerspace equipped with:

• 3D printers
• Laser cutter
• CAD workstations
• Python programming interfaces
• Agile development processes
• Advanced fabrication and prototyping tools

Students are challenged to:

• Learn through intentional failure and iteration
• Take academic risks
• Collaborate meaningfully with peers
• Solve authentic, real-world problems

Faculty operate as a team, guiding students in thought processes and engineering design methodology rather than primarily delivering content on mechanical laws or programming syntax.

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in engineering, robotics, computer science, manufacturing, product design, or related field
• Proficiency in Python or similar programming languages
• Experience in project-based learning environments (formal or informal)
• Coaching or mentoring experience

Required Qualities

• Strong technical aptitude and willingness to learn emerging technologies
• Ability to facilitate rather than lecture
• Comfort with ambiguity, iteration, and problem solving
• Growth mindset and enthusiasm for learning alongside students
• Commitment to teamwork and collaborative culture
• Strong communication and organizational skills

No specific technical specialty is required. Fabrication experience is a plus but not mandatory.

Responsibilities to BSM as a Catholic School:

Except in the teaching of religion, it is not an essential prerequisite that all employees be Catholic.  However, all employees are expected to respect the teaching of the Church.
