I've met good engineers who aren't particularly good writers. It's more difficult to be a good engineer if you're not able to explain in writing what you device does, and how it works, and how to maintain it - but that's what technical writers are for. Sometimes you can explain verbally what you can't write it down properly, and the tech writer can put it into proper prose.

It's called "teamwork", and sometimes specialization is better than trying to be a jack of all trades.

Is it true that if you are terrible at writing you are not and will never be an engineer?

No, that statement is not true. But that doesn't mean that if you're terrible at writing then you WILL be an engineer. It just means that there's no connection. I have made my living as an engineer for slightly more than 40 years, and I can tell you, from my observations and experience, that anything on the spectrum from functional illiteracy to world-class prose can propel a person into a career as an engineer.

No, that is not true, but it helps to write, especially technical memos, to document what you have done.. I hated essays at school, but have been an engineer for many years and now write many reports. But not everyone does that; just do your best.
