SOC 2123 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £58,700, and AIXTRON SE 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 2127 (Engineering project managers and project engineers, If project management is the main duty, not design) or SOC 2124 (Electronics engineers, If electronic design dominates over electrical design). We read the code off the advert, so it is our best guess, not the employer's.
