CCSNH has established employer status within the New England states (Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island). In compliance with CCSNH policies and state regulations, eligibility for employment within CCSNH and its institutions requires residency within a New England state.
Position Summary
Great Bay Community College seeks a qualified instructor to teach three non-credit courses: NCBM 105-Part Design in Solidworks; NCBM 106-Assemblies in Solidworks; NCBM107-Design Communication in Solidworks that provide a comprehensive introduction to SolidWorks CAD software for engineering, product design, and manufacturing applications. The instructor will guide students through 3D modeling, part design, assembly creation, technical drawing, and design-for-manufacturing principles, preparing them for careers in automated manufacturing, engineering design, and related fields.
Scope of Work
The instructor will be responsible for:
  • Delivering instruction across all course topics, including:
    • SolidWorks interface, tools, and workflows
    • Sketching fundamentals (lines, circles, arcs, splines) and applying constraints/dimensions
    • 3D part modeling (extrusion, revolution, lofting, adding/subtracting material)
    • Advanced part modeling and design intent in parametric modeling
    • Assembly modeling, component relationships, and mates
    • 2D technical drawing generation with correct views, dimensions, and annotations
    • Exploded views and assembly instructions for manufacturing
    • Introductory rendering, animation, and motion analysis
    • Basic tolerances and fits in mechanical design
    • Use of SolidWorks design libraries and templates
    • File export for 3D printing, CNC machining, and other manufacturing processes
  • Planning and leading a blend of lecture/discussion and hands-on lab activities (2 theory hours + 3 lab hours weekly)
  • Designing and facilitating project-based assignments and design review sessions
  • Developing and administering reading activities with quizzes, lab reports, and (optionally) practical exams
  • Providing timely, constructive feedback on student design work
  • Evaluating student progress against the 15 stated course objectives (e.g., sketching mastery, assembly creation, design intent, tolerances/fits, file export for manufacturing)
  • Maintaining course records, grades, and attendance in accordance with college policy
  • Ensuring lab safety procedures are followed, particularly where 3D printers or shop equipment are used

Minimum Qualifications
  • Associate's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Technology, Engineering Design, Drafting, or a closely related field (Bachelor's degree preferred)
  • Demonstrated proficiency in SolidWorks, including part modeling, assembly design, and 2D drawing creation
  • Professional experience applying CAD/SolidWorks in an engineering, manufacturing, product design, or drafting setting
  • Working knowledge of 3D printing technologies and design-for-additive-manufacturing principles
  • Ability to teach both foundational and intermediate CAD concepts to students with little to no prior experience
  • Strong communication and classroom/lab facilitation skills
  • Prior teaching, training, or mentoring experience preferred (college-level instruction a plus)
  • SolidWorks certification (e.g., CSWA, CSWP) preferred but not required

Application Process
  1. Submit an application online including:
    • Cover letter describing relevant SolidWorks/CAD and teaching or training experience
    • Current resume or CV
    • Contact information for two to three professional references
    • Optional: portfolio or samples of CAD/design work (models, drawings, or projects)
