This role likely qualifies for a Skilled Worker visa
SOC 2129 (72% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £46,100, and McLaren Automotive Ltd 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 2125 (Production and process engineers, If the role focused on production process technical direction rather than data management.) or SOC 2133 (IT business analysts, architects and systems designers, If the core work were IT systems design rather than engineering data.). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
