There's some jobs in there that are absolutely my dream job. But unfortunately, I probably can't due to ITAR requirements, I'm not from the U.S.

Or does the "eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State" apply?

It is possible to get ITAR authorization without being a US citizen or permanent resident. However, it is a long and arduous process, and even then those employees are restricted from some information. For that reason, it probably won't be considered unless you are very highly qualified.

If I were you, I'd read up on ITAR qualification and, if you think you would be eligible and are highly qualified, just apply.
