SOC 2123 is an eligible occupation, but we are only 52% sure that is the right code. Apple is a licensed sponsor, so if the code fits, the role should qualify. Check the occupation eligibility rules against what the job actually involves.
This could also be SOC 2124 (Electronics engineers). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
