Summary
Jared Briggs is a Senior Principal Mechanical Engineer with 11+ years specializing in CAD/CAE automation and FEA for aerospace and defense applications. At Northrop Grumman he designs and tests large composite rocket motor cases while building scripts and tools to automate analysis and data processing, repeatedly cutting tedious workflows from days to hours. He co-founded ZuluWorks to deliver engineering pre-processor plugins and has a consulting track record of parametrically generating CAD/CAE models and optimizations across oil & gas, aerospace, and more. Proficient in seven-plus programming languages and tools like Python, C++, Abaqus, HyperMesh, and Siemens NX, he blends deep structural mechanics with software engineering to make complex analyses repeatable and collaborative. A less obvious strength is his long history in real-time collaborative FEA research, which informs practical automation that scales across teams and projects.
