正高级工程师 vs. 高级工程师

What is the difference? If "高级工程师" is "senior engineer", what is "正高级工程师"?

English translation:senior engineer
Explanation:
How about "senior engineer" for 正高级工程师 and "associate senior engineer" for 副高级工程师, the same way you use "professor" and "associate professor" for 正教授，副教授?

OK, guess this is the only way to differentiate. I see that Lichun's suggestion is commonly used, but unfortunately not in English-speaking countries. Sorry...

Chief Senior Engineer


Explanation:
我想这大概是因为高级工程师实在太多了，故而想出来的区分办法。
Chief Senior Engineer - 正高级工程师
Deputy Chief Senior Engineer – 副高级工程师
Senior Engineer – 一般的高级工程师

Professor Level Senior Engineer


Explanation:
这是职称晋升时的术语，属中国特有。在高级工程师系列里，分为正高和副高。副高就是一般的高级工程师（相当于大学里的副教授），即senior engineer，更高一级的称为正高级工程师，在工程师系列里属最高级别，也称为研究员级高级工程师。习惯将其翻译为 Professor level senior engineer，意为相当于大学里的正教授一级。在翻译职称中，与其相当的是译审，副译审相当于高级工程师或副教授。
