SOC 5241 (86% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Ipsum is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
This could also be SOC 5242 (Telecoms and related network installers and repairers) or SOC 5249 (Electrical and electronic trades not elsewhere classified). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
