If you're talking about electronics, I think you need both.
Consider CTC builders: John Curl did the circuit design, Carl Thompson did the boards/layouts, and Bob Crump selected the parts and optimized the sonics. Personally, I would call Curl and Thompson engineers and Crump an experimentalist. But the product design depended on all 3. Engineers who aren't experimentalists could not have pulled it off. Neither could experimentalists who aren't engineers. I think every successful high end audio electronics maker relies on a mix of both.
Same for speakers.
But if you're talking about cables, I think many would argue that experimentation is more important than engineering, and I could accept that engineering is not really a requirement.
And people who specialize in the modification of existing designs or existing products may or may not need to apply engineering knowledge or principles depending on the extent of the modifications.
