i think the line of designation from Trainee to Senior Engineer is perfectly alright - in case you are using R&D and Engineer interchangeably OR you can make the starting designation as Trainee - Engineer

I am working in a software company as a "Senior Software Tester". I initially joined the company as an Admin guy and now combinely doing both work. There is a proposal to change the designations for staffs.
Can you please suggest a good designation for me which can portray my work in the Testing and as well in the Management side?
This can be really really helpful for my future.
