If you're in the USA, don't get your hopes up.

From their job descriptions:

Please note that applications are only considered from nationals of one of the following States: Austria, Belgium, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and Canada, Latvia, Lithuania and Slovakia.

In my career I've learned there is a difference between what they ask for, and what they'll accept. If a NASA engineer with some crazy specific knowledge and skills offers their services, these rules might suddenly not apply.

Fair enough, and on that same token, if you are that person you probably don't need to check if there's even an opening that fits your knowledge. Just apply.

The other positions, though, probably will follow that requirement more closely.
