Search and Evaluation. The improving process is a form of evolution. You study games the engine plays, and find things that need fixing. IE for search, you find a position where you searched pretty deeply overall, but not deeply enough along the critical path. You tune or add search extensions to try to pick up the solution without killing yourself elsewhere. For evaluation, you find positions where your engine simply missed the evaluation and thought it was winning when it was losing or whatever. Then you incorporate the missing knowledge into the evaluation so that it correctly evaluates this position now. It is just a matter of time and persistence... A lot of the latter...
