I’ll use baking as an analogy

Sound design: Create/compile and plan music and sounds.

Create a recipe/decide what to make

Audio Engineer: Use equipment to capture and record or broadcast music and sounds.

Gather and prepare all baking ingredients

Audio Editor: Fixes/cleans tracks. Removed unwanted noise, fix timing, reduce the number of individual files

Clean the kitchen/dishes and pre-heat the oven

Mix Engineer: Take recorded sounds and make changes/add effects to get desired product.

Mix all your baking ingredients together and bake the cake

Mastering Engineer: Prepare the final mix for distribution/consumption

Decorate the cake and make it look yummy
