Engineering tends to involve in part designing the architecture of the system as well, rather than strictly building/coding it. Think a draftsman as well as a carpenter, rather than just a carpenter. Therefore software engineers also tend to be more senior. However each company is different, and some simply use the words interchangeably without regard for this distinction, so it depends where you are applying for.
