The eligibility questions
These are required, and answered from a fixed list rather than in your own words: work authorisation, visa sponsorship or security clearance. Employers often use questions like these to filter applications automatically, but Greenhouse's public data does not say whether Ambiq Micro, Inc. does — so treat them as the answers most likely to matter, not as a verdict. Answer them honestly either way.
