SOC 2124 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £52,000, and Renesas Design (UK) Limited is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
In 2025, Renesas Design (UK) Limited assigned 8 or more Certificates of Sponsorship for SOC 2124 jobs, according to the Home Office.
We pick the code from the advert's text, so it is our best guess, not the employer's. Each code it could be has its own likelihood:
- Likely 2124 (Electronics engineers) · 85% match
- Likely 2123 (Electrical engineers) · 14% match
New graduate or PhD holder? Pick one of the lower rates.
What each route needs for this job
| Occupation code | New entrant 70% of going rate | STEM PhD 80% of going rate | Relevant PhD 90% of going rate | Standard rate 100% of going rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
2124 Electronics engineers Most likely code | £36,400 | £41,600 | £46,800 | £52,000 |
2123 Electrical engineers Also possible | £41,100 | £47,000 | £52,900 | £58,700 |
We use the lowest threshold across the plausible codes. Likelihood is Possible at most when the pay clears only a lower rate, or only under a less likely code. How the Home Office picks the code
