QAD is hiring an Apprentice Engineer in Mumbai, and the posting is written for freshers. If you have an IT-side degree and already live in the city, this is a software engineering entry point with on-site training at the start. We post openings like this every day on the Hirecept WhatsApp jobs channel, so join it if you do not want to miss the next one.
Role Overview
- Company: QAD (also called QAD | Redzone), a maker of manufacturing and supply chain software
- Role: Apprentice Engineer, Engineering department
- Location: Mumbai
- Type: Full time
- Experience: Fresher
- Pay: the posting does not list salary or stipend
Eligibility for QAD Apprentice Engineer
The posting asks for a degree from an IT background: BE or BTech, BSc IT, MSc, BCA or MCA. It also says only candidates residing in Mumbai will be considered, because the job starts with on-site training. If you are in another city, treat this as a hard filter and do not count on relocation being allowed.
Skills required
The posting lists these as working knowledge, so you do not need all of them at expert level:
- Java or C#, Python, JavaScript or TypeScript, HTML and XML
- Object-oriented programming principles
- Databases such as MongoDB and MySQL
- Linux, AWS, and open source technologies
- Maven, Git and CI/CD pipelines
- Familiarity with Kanban or Agile ways of working
- Working knowledge of AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor or GitHub Copilot
What the role involves
You will work under close supervision. Simple design and programming tasks are yours to do on your own. Beyond that, the listed duties are analysis, design and maintenance of QAD applications, building and testing solutions and merging them into the main code baseline, turning business analysis into working code, writing and updating documentation, writing unit and system test plans, and reviewing your own code against quality standards.
In plain terms, expect small tickets, a lot of testing and documentation, and steady feedback from senior engineers in your first months.
Who it suits
This fits a recent graduate who likes writing code but also does not mind documenting and testing it. It suits you if you want a structured start with training, and if you are comfortable with a mix of Java or C# and a database. It is a weaker fit if you want a pure product-startup pace or a remote job, since on-site training is part of the deal.
How to stand out
- Lead with one project that uses a language and a database from the list above, for example a Java or Python app backed by MySQL, and keep the code on GitHub.
- Show you can work with Git properly: branches, pull requests, readable commits.
- The AI-assisted development line is unusual for a fresher posting. Be ready to explain how you use a coding assistant and how you check its output. This is an inference from the posting, but expect a question on it.
- Brush up on OOP basics and basic SQL, since interviews for entry roles usually test them (expectation, not a stated round).
Check before you apply
- Pay and bond terms are not mentioned, so ask in the interview process.
- Confirm the exact length of the apprenticeship and whether it converts to a full-time role. The posting says "Apprentice" but also lists the job as full time.
- Make sure your Mumbai residence is current on your application.
