This job position may include access to controlled information or technology subject to U.S. export control laws. If an applicant does not meet the definition of a “U.S. Person” (which includes U.S. citizens, U.S. lawful permanent residents, and those granted U.S. asylum or refugee status), the Company may be required to obtain an export control license. If the position for which you applied involves access to controlled information or technology subject to U.S. export control laws, then any offer is also contingent on verification of appropriate documentation for the Company to assess whether an export license will be required to employ you in that role, and if it is determined that an export license is required, the offer is also contingent on the Company’s determination, in its sole discretion, whether a license application and ongoing administration is prudent under the project’s contract parameters and whether an export license can be successfully obtained before you can start in that role.
