About

Ready to help.

I’m Jacob Bayless, P. Eng, a practicing professional engineer based in Vancouver BC. Over the course of my career I’ve worked with technology companies in Canada, the US, and Japan.

I have very diverse skills and interests, largely around these themes:

Applied Bayesian probability
Control theory and feedback
Sensors and sensor fusion
Optics
Motors and magnetics
Acoustic noise cancellation
Prototyping
Precision machining
Solar energy and sustainability

For a sample of my interests (the ones I’m able to write about), check out my blog:

These Are Systems

I’m open to projects of any size and scope. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a multinational corporation, whether you’re looking for quick help with tuning a servo or an in-depth research project, I’m always happy to discuss how I can be of assistance.

“I have worked closely with Jacob for over five years on various research and development projects in the field of motion control. Jacob has consistently impressed me with his depth of fundamental technical knowledge in so many areas – magnetics, optics, control systems, material science, statistics, and general physics, just to name a few. His depth of knowledge in multiple fields enables him to solve tough engineering problems in novel and optimal ways that defeat traditional approaches.”
