This could be an interesting function of an upgraded astronaut/recruiting complex.

I like the concept of 'test pilot' as a pilot/engineer hybrid, and extending this concept to other classes could be a good feature especially for the orange suits who could all be dual skilled.   Jeb could be pilot/engineer, Val a pilot/scientist, Bill an engineer/pilot  and Bob a scientist/engineer. Maybe other recruits could 'earn' an orange suit by reaching the top of their default class and level 3 in a second.

For this to work well the skill system would of course need to be tweaked a bit, but that's probably needed anyway. 

But what would you call the scientist engineer. Something like specialist or mission specialist I have no ideas what to call them.

This mod initially did what you wanted with names,  however for compatibility sake, the names had to be switched back to stock.  Some mods depend on scientists being named scientist same with pilots and engineers.  Renaming the professions make collecting science impossible in some cases for example.  The names you are suggesting are exactly the names I had for this mod.  They were

Scientist: mission spc

Engineer: payload spc

Pilot: commander

 

In order to get the renaming compatible with other mods,  you will need to write a plugin that will override what ksp has done.  I don't have the time to do it anymore but that was my intention with skillz
