Miller was Moto3 championship runner-up with KTM in 2014 and has more than a decade of grand prix experience, including three wins in the top category.
The Queenslander last year won in Jerez and Le Mans to become the first Australian back-to-back race winner in MotoGP since double world champion Casey Stoner in 2012. He finished the season fourth overall.
