Your guess is also wrong. Most aeronautical engineers have at least some pilot training, and they often fly aircraft they have had a hand in designing.
In the commercial aviation world, aircraft are designed by teams, some of whom are aeronautical engineers, but that also include electrical, chemical, structural, and mechanical engineers, test pilots, accountants, managers, and various consultants.
And believe me, they know it's going to fly before any metal is cut for the prototype.

Yes they can actually anyone can. Certain airworthiness standards must be taken. Also you must show all research and development for the aircraft and sources of information. You will be flying under a experimental aircraft license. You must specify the purpose of the aircraft, and you will need a fight license for the specific engine type (single, twin) if you want to fight over 500 feet.

If they are licensed to fly that particular aircraft they can fly it, providing it flies
