Tech/Engineering - Military / Defense / eighteenth-century ranks
Spanish term or phrase: ingeniero extraordinario
This was a military engineering rank in Spain in the XVIIIth cent., with a military rank of Lieutenant. I actually need correct translations for the whole rank ladder:
ingeniero delineador (second lieutenant); ingeniero extraordinario (lieutenant); ingeniero ordinario (captain) and ingeniero en segundo (lieutenant colonel).

English translation:No creo que sea apropiado traducir...
Explanation:
Candiani,
no creo que sea apropiado traducir los grados militares. Lo apropiado es indicar un equivalente en grados en los cuales el lector esta mas familiarizado. Exactamente como tu lo has hecho para formular la pregunta.
Tu otra opcion seria hacer una gran investigacion historica y encontrar equivalentes de otros ejercitos. De todos modos, estos equivalentes serian propios de otras fuerzas armadas que solo serian conocidos por los militares de ese pais.
