About Baldi Designs

Custom RF Instrumentation & Integrated Support Hardware

Baldi Designs develops custom RF and microwave instrumentation, electronic ground support equipment, and integrated hardware for aerospace, defense, remote sensing, and high-reliability test applications. Our capabilities span the full development lifecycle, from requirements definition and system architecture through detailed design, fabrication, integration, verification, and delivery.

Programs are led directly by the principal engineer, with RF performance evaluated in the context of the broader hardware architecture. This system-level approach supports disciplined interface management and efficient development of purpose-built hardware when standard equipment cannot satisfy program needs.

Technical Leadership

Baldi Designs is led by founder and principal engineer Chad A. Baldi, who has more than two decades of experience developing remote sensing instrumentation and hardware systems for spaceflight, airborne, laboratory, and field applications.

His spaceflight work has included leading the development of radar instruments, RF subsystems, and flight-system support hardware for planetary and Earth science programs. Across these efforts, he has directed multidisciplinary teams and maintained technical responsibility through integration, verification, and delivery.

Chad holds Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, with graduate specialization in microwave remote sensing.
