How does SSC JE differ from RRB JE?

Both recruit Junior Engineers, but SSC (Staff Selection Commission) and RRB (Railway Recruitment Board) are entirely separate conducting bodies recruiting for different sets of government departments -- SSC JE posts span multiple central departments while RRB JE is specifically for Indian Railways.

Do candidates choose their engineering stream before the exam?

Yes -- candidates select Civil, Electrical, or Mechanical Engineering, and both Paper 1's technical section and all of Paper 2 are specific to that chosen stream.
