If there were a license in the US for it, I’d agree with you. But as is, if you are “doing” engineering, you’re an engineer.
If you are a licensed engineer of some kind, you’d state that outright.
The equivalent of stolen valor would be claiming to be a licensed software engineer; except there is no such license so it would also be fraud, misrepresentation, etc.
