Vincent studied engineering in his spare time from a course offered by International Correspondence Schools. Vincent established himself with "a thick portfolio of patents" at the Burroughs Adding Machine Company in Detroit before moving on to become acting chief engineer for the Hudson Motor Car Company late in 1910.〔 Jesse Vincent was a very close friend of Hudson's Howard E.
