John S. Jacob
Engineering Research

I Solve Complex Engineering Problems in the Development and Improvement of Industrial Equipment.


I analyse the design and behaviour of Machinery, Mechanical Systems, Structures, Processes, Materials, Thermodynamics and Heat, Fluid & Gas Dynamics, and Control System. 


I support innovation in diverse industries including Transport, Maintenance, Mining, and Marine.  


I provide guidance in the planning and execution of R&D activities using best-practice methodology.


I have a Master’s Degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Research, and 40 years’ R&D experience in a broad range of projects and industries.


I specialise in the kinds of novel, unusual, or difficult engineering problems for which there is no established recipe or template.


Based in Perth, Western Australia

Testimonial:

Critical Infrastructure Technologies engaged John several years ago to develop the core mechanical technology for a new and innovative folding communications tower design.  Research indicated that this task was going to be very challenging and there was no indication that the concept had been attempted - let alone successfully executed.

John approached the task with well practiced engineering discipline and despite the delivery pressures, developed robust concepts that were systematically and critically evaluated and improved on.  The result was a truly innovative design that is patented in 12 countries and now in production.

With a deep understanding of mechanical, structural, robotic control and production processes, John covers the range of skills that would ordinarily require team of engineers.
