This is a Canadian specific post, just a warning.

One thing that irks me is when people call themselves ‘Test Engineer’ or something similar. The key thing that bugs me is the whole engineer part. In Canada, only those with a P.Eng as licensed by their provincial body can legally call themselves an engineer.

Here is the appropriate quote from Engineers Canada‘s P.Eng site:

The licensing bodies have also mandated CCPE to develop other national guidelines on their behalf. Those guidelines promote greater consistency in the regulatory practices of the licensing bodies, which has led to full national mobility for licensed engineers within Canada. Engineering’s licensing bodies protect Canadians against the misuse of the title engineer by unlicensed individuals through a variety of means. In addition to initiating public awareness activities to inform engineering students, employers and the public about the requirements for licensure, and responding to complaints, through CCPE the licensing bodies hold Official Marks on the terms engineer, engineering, professional engineer, P.Eng., and consulting engineer, as well as their French-language equivalents. This gives the profession an extra legal tool in its efforts to protect the public

If you are a P.Eng, by all means, call yourself the title you posses. If you are not however, perhaps you should point out to HR that your title needs some work to be actually legal in Canada.
