Personally, not really, because there is no real ambiguity. For example, at a company like apple (or anywhere else that makes devices), they might have 'real' qualified engineers working alongside software engineers. The liberal use of the term 'engineer' to describe technicians or mechanics does irk many in the engineering fields, however. In Germany, the term is protected, so it is illegal to use the label without holding full qualifications, like 'doctor' or 'lawyer'.
