    I have not downloaded Inkscape yet , wanted to confirm that it is what I need?

    I am attempting to make a file for a basic offline grbl controller to engrave 

    nameplates for electric motors ! The plates are alwase the same size with

    All information in same locations on the nameplate.

    is Inkscape what I need to save a file on SD card

    in a coronos maker controller

    Disclaimer: I have no experience with Grbl. The GitHub page says that CNC layouts should be encoded in g-code and thanks to some generous volunteers, Inkscape has extensions to export g-code images. Search the web for "Inkscape g-code" and you'll find links to extensions and to various discussions on the topic. It seems that 2D text engraving like yours is easily accomplished.
