More years of experience do not equal staff engineer. The terminal position for most is some sort of senior engineer level.

It might be helpful to consider the manager equivalent which is like a high level director or low level vp.

In part it is helpful as the role has some similarities in that it involves influence. It’s a more difficult position perhaps, since the influence required comes without the same power. The highest level roles can include influence outside the organization as well.
