To make it simple.

Everything in a stealth plane is specifically designed to avoid being spotted. Weird geometries make the plane distorted to radars and sensors.

A radar “shoot” a radio impulse and read what is reflected by objects.

What the plane do is absorbing and deflecting those impulses

The same happens with temperature, the weird shape modify how heat of the engine is ejected.
