About the role

  • At Mill, it is not typical for an individual to be hired at or near the top of the range for their role.

Responsibilities

  • Lead board bring-up, validation, and rework tracking; debug and root-cause issues across circuits, firmware integration points, and full-system behavior
  • Own production-intent electrical design - schematic capture, PCB layout, component selection, and DFM
  • Design and validate multi-rail power architectures
  • Design and implement sensing and mechatronic platforms
  • Design with certification in mind (UL, ETL, FCC, EU, Canada)
  • Contribute to design reviews, EVT/DVT/PVT readiness, and the transition from prototype to production
  • Partner cross-functionally with mechanical, firmware, controls, science, operations, and product teams to make architecture and tradeoff decisions
  • Support relationships with ODMs, CMs, PCB fab/assembly vendors, and component distributors; contribute to component sourcing, alternates qualification, and DFM feedback

Requirements

  • 4+ years of hands-on experience on production hardware products, with demonstrated end-to-end ownership through bring-up and validation
  • Solid experience with microprocessors, sensor integration, motor control, and embedded systems
  • Comfort working with AC power systems and an understanding of relevant safety considerations
  • strong bench proficiency with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, multimeters, thermal imaging, and data acquisition
  • Scripting proficiency in Python and embedded C/C++ for test automation, data analysis, and prototype firmware
  • High-power appliance, commercial equipment, or industrial product development experience
  • Experience with Jetson, Raspberry Pi CM, or other embedded compute platforms integrated into hardware systems
  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent
  • Proficient in schematic capture and PCB layout in Altium or equivalent
  • Able to independently bring up and debug new hardware; strong bench proficiency with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, multimeters, thermal imaging, and data acquisition; hands-on with PCB rework and cable assembly
  • Strong communicator; able to operate in ambiguous problem spaces, synthesize requirements, and drive closure with limited oversight
  • Safety certification experience (UL, ETL, FCC, CE, IC) - including pre-compliance testing, EMI debug, and cert lab management
  • Thermal system design - component derating, temperature sensing and control, PCB layout for heat dissipation, and heatsink selection
  • Designing interlock and safety architectures for certified appliances
  • Industrial communication protocols (Modbus, RS-485, CAN)

Nice to have

  • Startup experience preferred

Skills

  • Mill is a waste prevention technology company reimagining what it means to eliminate waste, starting with food.

Compensation

  • The estimated base salary range for this position is $195k to $225k, which does not include the value of benefits or a potential equity grant.
