I guess telecom engineer has been kind of a grab-all title for all kinds of jobs that are telecoms related but not enterprise networking. I’m a telecom engineer (telecommunications eng. diploma and all that jazz) but I deal with such ancient (PDH & SONET, yay!) and arcane stuff that no current job title would work.

Funny how an almost 100 years old title is still relevant today.
