Data Engineer as a term came out of the Data Science space. Which means that you will be expected to have skills around Spark, Data Lakes, ETL at scale, validation, schema management and syncing, data catalogs etc.
It's not some general skill just like you wouldn't say every programmer is a Network Engineer because they use a HTTP client.
