It can be, but in a limited sense. It is the present participle of the verb (to invent) and may be used as a gerund (noun). Using it as an adjective (e.g. the inventing engineer) would indicate that he invented a particular device or devices, as opposed to the adjective inventive which characterizes him as being a capable inventor.
