Who We Are
Committed to STEM Literacy
We partner with teachers and communities to build a STEM-literate society where all students grow up to become citizens who can solve complex problems and contribute to their communities while driving innovation.
Making a Global Impact
Our work is helping to shape the future of science education worldwide—supporting educators in over 150 countries.
Driven by Purpose
We’ve taken steps to forever ensure our mission is the cornerstone of our organization, thanks to our Perpetual Purpose Trust Ownership.
Sharing a Philanthropic Spirit
Each year we donate over $400,000 in cash and resources to local and national schools and other non-profit organizations.
Engaged in Environmental Stewardship
We consistently aspire to do right by the environment, from our energy policies to our commuter support programs to our very own rooftop bees.
Why Work with Vernier?
It’s not rocket science.
We just really care about our people and our mission.
Health & Wellness
We know the best work happens when we are happy and healthy! In addition to medical and dental coverage, we offer many opportunities for wellness and team building. Take advantage of our on-site gym, drop into our lunchtime fitness classes like kickboxing and yoga, or join basketball, soccer, or volleyball! We also offer generous PTO for full-time employees as well as paid sabbatical leave every seven years of continuous employment.
Financial Wellness
Invest in your future with us. Start contributing to a 401(k) plan just three months after joining Vernier, and enjoy a generous company contribution once eligible. We also offer additional earnings through our profit sharing program, which compensates employees based on their time with us and our company’s annual success. Paid disability and a company-paid life insurance policy are also included.
Professional Growth
Intellectual curiosity is at the heart of our mission, and that extends to our people as well. Vernier provides professional development opportunities, a tuition reimbursement program, a mentorship program, and other opportunities to expand your knowledge and skills.
Giving Spirit
We love giving back to our community. We support employees with four hours of paid volunteer time per month at a non-profit of their choice. Plus, we’ll match individual charitable contributions from employees up to $1,000 per year.
Sustainability
We’re big on minimizing our impact on the environment. Our LEED-Gold certified building includes a bike room, worm composting, close proximity to the Max Light Rail system, and solar panels on the roof. We also offer a monthly commuter benefit to those using public transportation for work. See all the ways we go green.
Company Culture
Ours is a fun, friendly, and inclusive environment with lots of opportunities to balance work and play. Join a committee, from the Aquarium Maintenance team to the Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging committee, take part in raffles for local sports and culture tickets, or join us for our many social activities.
Impactful Work
Feel good about joining a team that works in service of helping students and teachers thrive. When teachers call us for support, they connect with our experienced technical support team of former educators, perhaps even our co‑founder Dave Vernier himself. And thanks to our new trust ownership, our mission will never be compromised in the name of profit.

I used Vernier tools when I was teaching—and now, as a Vernier employee, I get to help teachers use our technology solutions so they can focus on what’s important—student learning. I love that at this time in my career, I am able to help teachers find ways to improve their practice.”
