The oil industry is setup as nested subcontractors so that no-one with any money is responsible for these kinds of screwups.
Go look into the actual law, you legally can't call yourself an engineer in Texas without a PE, or a couple tiny carveouts (on the order of you work at NASA, and NASA calls you an engineer)

Replying to your edit: there are no jobs on that Dell site in Texas with engineer in the title. It's including some from Minnesota for some reason.

The problem of listing to dynamic sites. See e.g. https://jobs.dell.com/job/austin/software-senior-engineer-re...
There are doubtless tens of thousands of Texas job listings for "engineer" positions in software and elsewhere. (Software is especially notable only because my understanding is that PE's in software have basically been phased out. So you basically can't get licensed in that branch of engineering even if you have an accredited degree and have met the other requirements.)
ADDED: TIL apparently Texas is indeed exceptionally restrictive (in theory) about the use of the term "engineer." [1] I'd be pretty certain this is widely ignored in practice. Leave the oil business aside, I'm guessing that tech companies in Texas probably advertise engineering positions now and then. (Yep: https://jobs.dell.com/location/united-states-texas-round-roc...)
