Do Virgin Galactic jobs in California require US citizenship?

How is this list made?

We read each employer's own job board every hour. A role is listed here when it is a US role and its own location line names a place in California, by the same reading as our research on where space jobs are; remote roles that name no state are on the remote jobs page.
