It might, depending on the thoroughness of the background check.
Employers usually can't ask applicants about arrests that did not result in a conviction; however, there's an exception that allows them to ask if you have a case pending. California Labor Code �432.7
Answer any pending questions truthfully. If your employer finds out you lied in response to a direct question about your pending case, you could be terminated at any time.

The arrest, yes. If and when convicted, that will show.
