Nach dreijähriger Mitarbeit in der Institutsleitung wechselte er 1996 in die Industrie zur Firma Müller Weingarten. 1997 trat er in die Mannesmann Rexroth AG, heute Bosch Rexroth AG, ein, wo er unterschiedliche technische Leitungsfunktionen innehatte, bevor er 2006 als Mitglied der Geschäftsbereichsleitung Hydraulik Verantwortung für die Antriebstechnik bei Bosch Rexroth übernahm. Seit Oktober 2008 ist Prof. Jacobs Leiter des IME, seit 2013 Sprecher des Vorstands des Centers for Wind Power Drives (CWD) und seit 2016 Leiter des IKT der RWTH Aachen University. Prof. Dr.-Ing. G. Jacobs studied mechanical engineering with majoring in engineering design at RWTH Aachen and did his doctorate in 1993 at the IHP about wear behaviour of hydraulic pumps and valves. After three years of working in the institutes management he transferred to the Müller Weingarten AG in 1996. In 1997 he joint the Mannesmann Rexroth AG, today Bosch Rexroth AG, where he held different technical leadership roles. Since 2006 he worked as executive vice president R&D of the business division hydraulics at Bosch Rexroth AG. Since October 2008 Professor Jacobs is the director of the IME and since 2013 he is the speaker of the board of the Center for Wind Power Drives (CWD). Since 2016 he also is the director of the IKT at RWTH Aachen University.
