The term "engineering" is completely butchered. Why is this engineering. Looking at the job description this is closer to a producer role (more common in arts and entertainment).

I get you need technical knowledge, but the role itself is not engineering. Why does the software industry do this? Sorry for the rant.

FDE is meant to be a role similar to tech co-founder within a small business unit.

Someone who can understand the requirements, talk to users, build, ship, and support.

Doesn't read that way from the descriptions, but if you say so.
