Odessa Hardware Test / Validation Engineer Interview Questions
& Process

There were 2 interview rounds, both technical and HR. Since I'm from a mechanical background, they asked me questions from mechanical, software testing, and some basic HR. They had a booklet for each branch and asked questions from it in the first round. I got selected for the second round, which was in their Bangalore office. There, they asked software testing questions, which I'm not good at. I'm good at communication, so I answered all HR questions well and they were impressed, but I couldn't answer the testing questions properly, so I didn't make it. Before these interviews, there was an aptitude test, a coding test, and an error-finding test.

I applied through campus drive, and the company visited our chennai campus for recruitment. Students from 3 other colleges under the same management also participated. The first round was an online test that included quant, logical reasoning, verbal ability, flowchart questions, and some software testing specific questions. Out of 300 students, only 2 were shortlisted for the second round.

It was 3 rounds in total. First they asked some normal mathematical and logical questions. Then, there was a technical round. They gave a requirement for how a website should be and work, and we had to find and write the bugs in the website. The last round was HR, which was pretty standard like in other companies.
