About the role

As a Systems Engineer at Mill, you will help characterize, understand, and improve the performance of our next-generation commercial food recycler.

  • BS in Mechanical, Thermal, Process, Chemical, or a related engineering field
  • Clear written and verbal communication, able to present results to engineers across disciplines
  • Able to work independently on an owned area while collaborating closely with a small, fast-moving team

We build smart systems and infrastructure for homes, businesses, and municipalities that transform food scraps from landfill-bound waste into valuable resources, including chicken feed.
