No, you do not need to capitalize "dear" in a cover letter. In a salutation, it is customary to capitalize the first word and any proper nouns, but "dear" is not typically considered a proper noun. So, you would write "Dear Hiring Manager" or "Dear Ms. Smith" with a capital letter for the first word and any proper nouns, but just "dear" on its own should be lowercase.
