This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2135 (75% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £48,500, and Nokia 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 3549 (Business associate professionals not elsewhere classified., Standards engineer index entry; role centres on standardization work) or SOC 1137 (Information technology directors, Represents Nokia in external forums at strategic level). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
