John Mather

John is a Senior Design Engineer at Grove Design. Having grown up around vehicles and mechanics, John is very familiar with the hands on mechanics of automotive engineering. His involvement in his parents’ automotive business led him down the route of engineering, which later informed his design engineering role at Grove Design. John’s attention to detail strengthens his ability to produce high quality, reliable all wheel drive systems and other mechanical designs.

Outside of the office, John maintains and fixes his own vehicles, and stays involved in the practical side of engineering where he can. Fault diagnosis is a significant aspect of John’s role, analysing issues within mechanisms and determining the most effective, and reliable solutions. His skill set allows him to explore effective design, as well as design that needs improvement, finding the line between the best possible quality, and the constraints of each project. This exploration of automotive engineering has developed into other valuable skills such as programming, simulation and analysis; which contribute to the prototyping and testing within a range of projects.
