I'm an "Associate Software Engineer". As far as I know, it's totally arbitrary. I had to check our directory to confirm it. 🙃 To me it means junior-ish developer, and I believe that's what the intention is, too.

It sounds great to me, but I also don't really have a stake in my title. We're also a small team and I'm sure amongst us, it doesn't really matter. I'm guessing titles matter in bigger companies that have a larger organization structure.
