Verity is hiring a founding Senior Manager, Design Systems Engineer to build Verity Canvas, our code-canonical design system for healthcare software. This role sits at the center of Figma, React, accessibility, and production code. You will keep our real codebase and Figma library aligned, turning design decisions into type-safe, accessible components that product teams can trust. As we migrate from Angular to React, you will help build the system that makes our next generation of UI consistent, scalable, and meaningful for the people who rely on it.
Responsibilities
- Own the @verity/ui component library as a versioned package built on accessible headless primitives and styled through design tokens.
- Build and maintain the @verity/tokens pipeline from DTCG design tokens through Style Dictionary, CSS custom properties, and typed output.
- Create a code-to-Figma token workflow using Figma Variables, staging files, and review practices that prevent silent design drift.
- Author Code Connect mappings so Figma Dev Mode and coding agents generate real @verity/ui components instead of generic markup.
- Define the AI-ready system surface, including MCP context, component manifests, registries, repo guidance, and agent evaluation workflows.
- Strengthen CI quality gates for accessibility, visual regression, app-level regression, linting, and code ownership.
- Manage release discipline through Changesets, semantic versioning, API contract checks, and migration-ready codemods.
- Partner with designers and product teams on Figma conventions, adoption, governance, promotion, and deprecation workflows.
Required Qualifications
- Minimum 5+ years of experience building front-end systems, design systems, or component libraries with React and TypeScript.
- Experience designing typed component APIs and shipping a design system as a published package used by other teams.
- Hands-on experience with Figma Dev Mode, variables, and Code Connect, or similar design-to-code workflows.
- Experience building design token pipelines using DTCG formats and tools such as Style Dictionary or Tokens Studio.
- Strong accessibility expertise, including ARIA, keyboard interaction, focus management, and automated checks such as axe.
- Experience with Storybook, visual regression testing, CI/CD, modern Git workflows, and package management in monorepos.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Base UI, Radix, React Aria, Ariakit, or similar headless primitive libraries.
- Experience with pnpm workspaces, Turborepo, Changesets, semver, API Extractor, or type-aware codemods.
- Experience with AI-native development workflows, MCP tooling, coding agents, registries, or agent evaluation harnesses.
- Experience pushing tokens from code into Figma or working with the Figma Variables REST API.
- Experience in healthcare, regulated environments, or products where accessibility and precision are essential.
If you will be working at home occasionally or permanently, the internet connection must be obtained through a cable broadband or fiber optic internet service provider with speeds of at least 10Mbps download/5Mbps upload.

Tips for Your Remote Design Engineer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote design engineer openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your skills and apply directly without sorting through mixed local and remote results.
Build a portfolio that works asynchronously
Remote hiring managers review your work without you in the room. Document each project with the problem statement, your design decisions, trade-offs you considered, and the final outcome. Formats like a PDF deck or a shared Notion page travel well across remote interviews.
Demonstrate fluency in remote design toolchains
Explicitly list the cloud-based CAD, PLM, and collaboration tools you use, such as Onshape, Fusion 360, Teamcenter, or Confluence. Remote employers screen for candidates who can integrate into a distributed workflow from day one without requiring tool onboarding.
Signal async communication skills in your application
Remote design engineer teams run on written communication. Your cover message and any take-home exercises should be precise, well-structured, and free of ambiguity. Clarity in writing signals that you can collaborate across time zones without constant back-and-forth.
Remote Design Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote design engineer job?
Target companies that already run distributed engineering teams, such as remote-first hardware and software firms, defense contractors with geographically spread offices, and industrial tech companies with no single headquarters campus. Remote design engineer hiring screens heavily for self-direction, clear written communication in tools like Confluence or Notion, and fluency in cloud-based CAD and PLM platforms. A portfolio showing completed design projects with documented decisions and outcomes gives you a concrete edge.
Which companies hire remote design engineers?
Companies hiring remote design engineers right now include Ryder System, Encore Semi, and Analog Devices, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. The bulk of remote openings come from remote-first product companies, distributed defense and aerospace firms, and industrial technology organizations that rely on centralized digital tooling rather than a shared physical lab.
Can you get a remote design engineer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level design engineer roles are harder to land because employers expect new hires to work independently without day-to-day in-person oversight. The companies most likely to hire entry-level candidates remotely are smaller product startups and contract engineering firms. A portfolio of personal, academic, or open-source design projects, along with demonstrated comfort in collaborative CAD and communication tools, can substitute meaningfully for formal work history.
Do you need a degree for remote design engineer jobs?
Not always, though most remote design engineer postings list a bachelor's degree in mechanical, electrical, or a related engineering field as a baseline requirement. Remote employers increasingly weigh a strong portfolio, measurable project outcomes, and proficiency in industry-standard tools alongside formal credentials. Candidates without a degree who show clear evidence of completed design work and technical problem-solving do compete successfully for contract and some full-time remote roles.
Which industries hire the most remote design engineers?
Remote design engineer roles concentrate in Consulting & Professional Services, Manufacturing, and Technology & Software, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Those sectors hire design engineers remotely because their workflows depend on shared digital platforms, cloud CAD environments, and distributed product teams rather than centralized lab or manufacturing floor access.
