Sorry, but what is a senior principle engineer? My understanding is that as far as engineers go principle is the top level - a true technical authority for an organization.
Larger organizations can have a more defined job architecture than just Principal.
At my company Senior Principal is like a Senior Director, and the IC track continues past that. Here's the list for IC / Management tracks:
Software Engineer
Senior Software Engineer / Engineering Manager
Staff Engineer / Senior Manager
Principal Engineer / Director
Senior Principal Engineer / Senior Director
Engineering Fellow / Vice President
