TurbineOne application questions — all 6, word for word
TurbineOne hires through Greenhouse. Beyond name, email and CV, its application form asks 6 questions, 4 of them required. 1 of them is a required, fixed-choice question about your eligibility to work. A cover letter is optional.
18 roles were open when this was last checked, mostly in engineering and sales. The questions below are the form's own wording, not a paraphrase.

5 of the questions below are ones at most two of the 213 employers measured ask (median: 18), the least standard being “Please describe your experience with software development, drones/UAS, and/or Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems. Include any relevant technologies, platforms, programming languages, or projects.”.
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 TurbineOne does — so treat them as the answers most likely to matter, not as a verdict. Answer them honestly either way.

Before you apply
Have the answers to the required questions ready before you open the form — TurbineOne's asks for 4 of them, and Greenhouse does not save a partial application by default. Settle the eligibility questions first — they are the ones with no room to elaborate, so knowing your answer before you start tells you whether the rest of the form is worth your time.
