There are lawsuits filed for delivering shoddy work, unmet deadlines/commitments. They are just less publicized, because human life is (usually) not at stake.

Those are contract lawsuits.

Are there any jurisdictions where a Software Engineer can lose their license?

[tamana]

It's essentially impossible for a lawyer to lose their license.

[criddell]

But they can. They can also have their license suspended.

Software Engineer on the other hand, is just a label that doesn't mean anything. AFAIK, no jurisdictions license Software Engineers. Unlike law, there's no punishment for working as a software engineer (although there are some jurisdictions where the title "Engineer" is regulated).

[criddell]

The last sentence should be:

Unlike practicing law, there's no punishment for working as a software engineer without a license.
