Discriminates against non-US citizen??? For some positions that’s required by the law!! I think that’s true with almost all space contractors and NASA. A notable exception, iirc, is JPL.

I have an undergrad degree in aerospace engineering. I took a spacecraft design course and we had an opportunity to tour a facility where satellites were being made. Foreign-born students (Germany and Canada were two, I think) weren't even allowed on the tour.

Quick search reminded me of the name of the related laws: International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR).
