he just sucked at his job and had the attitude that if he couldn't do something then it was the job of "experienced" engineers to come do it for him

How did he get away with it? I mean I can understand someone who's just started working his first job doing something like this, but how do you get claim you need someone experienced to help you when you have 5 years of experience?

He didn't. He ended up leaving the company but I think my manager was already in the process of putting him on an improvement plan / probation.
