Graduate Engineer Trainee – Firmware Quality Assurance

Round 1: Technical interview – embedded systems fundamentals and C/C++ coding → Round 2: Technical interview – firmware testing, debugging and communication protocols → Round 3: HR interview – cultural fit and career aspirations

GreyOrange fosters a collaborative, fast‑paced environment where innovation and continuous learning are core values. Employees enjoy a supportive culture that balances challenging projects with opportunities for skill growth and work‑life balance. The company encourages cross‑functional teamwork and provides mentorship to help engineers thrive.

Candidates typically face a three‑round interview process: an initial technical round focused on embedded systems and C/C++ fundamentals, a second technical round covering firmware testing, debugging and communication protocols, followed by an HR round to assess cultural fit. The difficulty is moderate, with emphasis on practical problem‑solving and real‑world scenario questions. Preparing concise project explanations and practicing debugging scenarios can help secure a successful outcome.

Minimum 60% in the 4‑year degree. Fresh graduates with strong academic projects or internships in embedded systems are eligible. No specific backlog policy mentioned; standard company policy applies.

GreyOrange is a global robotics and automation company that designs, builds and operates autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and robotic solutions for warehouses, manufacturing and logistics. With a presence in over 20 countries, the company focuses on delivering end‑to‑end automation solutions that improve productivity, reduce costs and enable safer working environments. The Gurugram office is a key hub for product development, quality engineering and customer support, and it plays a pivotal role in ensuring that GreyOrange’s robotic platforms meet the highest standards of reliability and performance. The Graduate Engineer Trainee – Firmware Quality Assurance role is an entry‑level position that offers fresh graduates and early‑career engineers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of embedded firmware, robotics and quality engineering. As a Firmware QA engineer, you will validate firmware releases for robots, controllers, sensors and VDA systems before they reach Functional Acceptance Testing (FAT) and customer deployment. You will collaborate closely with Firmware, Electronics, Software, Product Engineering and Quality teams to identify defects, reproduce issues, validate fixes and improve overall firmware quality. Key responsibilities include: 1. Test and validate embedded firmware releases prior to FAT and site deployment. 2. Perform firmware‑level checks on robots, controllers, sensors and VDA systems. 3. Identify firmware defects and reproduce reported issues. 4. Provide clear debugging information to the Firmware team. 5. Validate bug fixes and conduct regression testing before firmware releases. 6. Review firmware release and change logs to ensure comprehensive testing. 7. Debug firmware issues using logs, diagnostic tools and communication interfaces. 8. Troubleshoot CAN, UART, RS‑232/RS‑485, Ethernet and other communication protocols. 9. Support root‑cause analysis to determine whether issues originate from firmware, electronics, communication or software. 10. Maintain defect trackers, test results, logs and firmware validation reports. Tech stack: Embedded systems (microcontrollers, firmware architecture), C/C++ programming, communication protocols (CAN, UART, SPI, I2C, RS‑232, RS‑485, Ethernet), debugging tools (CAN analyzers, serial terminals, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers), defect tracking (JIRA), Microsoft Office for documentation. Growth path: Starting as a Firmware QA trainee, you can progress to Firmware QA Engineer, Firmware Test Lead, Firmware Quality Manager or move into Firmware Development, Product Engineering or Robotics Integration roles. GreyOrange’s culture of continuous learning, mentorship and cross‑functional collaboration provides ample opportunities for skill development and career advancement. Why join GreyOrange? The company offers a dynamic work environment where you can contribute to cutting‑edge robotics solutions that transform industries. You’ll work with talented engineers, gain hands‑on experience with real‑world firmware and robotics challenges, and be part of a mission to make automation accessible and impactful worldwide.
