Job Titles for Engineers

I have a BS in Electrical Engineering as well as an MS in the same. I work as an Engineer for a small company. However, Texas has a law called the "Texas Engineering Practice Act" that says I cannot call myself an engineer or use engineer (or any derivative thereof) in my title until I am fully licensed. I cannot take the licensing examination until I have 3 full years of engineering experience.

What can I use as my job title in the meantime?

I posted a few in the pole, any other suggestions? Surely some other Texas engineer has encountered this.

Note: Some Texas engineers can call themselves engineers even if they are not licensed if they work for a company with a licensed engineer who can sign off on their work.
