BAKER ENGINEERING, LLC

BAKER ENGINEERING, LLC specializes in the design, development, and precision manufacturing of mission-critical electro-mechanical systems and high-integrity fastening components for defense applications. Their core capabilities span advanced research in thermal and power systems, including compact diesel engine architectures for unmanned aerial systems, and the engineering of variable pitch mechanisms for aerospace and military platforms. The company demonstrates deep expertise in mechanical systems integration, materials science for ballistic-grade fasteners, and the production of custom nuts, screws, and rivets meeting stringent military specifications. Their technical differentiation lies in bridging R&D innovation with high-volume, low-tolerance manufacturing—delivering both prototype-scale prototypes and production-ready hardware under tight operational timelines. This dual focus on cutting-edge engineering and precision fabrication enables rapid transition from concept to fielded capability. The contractor maintains a consistent relationship with the Department of Defense, delivering both developmental research solutions and sustainment-level manufacturing support. Work includes SBIR Phase II efforts for next-generation propulsion systems alongside direct supply of hardened fasteners for armored platforms and air-launched effectors, indicating a trusted role in both innovation pipelines and logistics readiness. Industry focus centers on NAICS 541715 for applied engineering R&D and 332722 for defense-grade fastener manufacturing. This positions BAKER ENGINEERING as a niche provider serving the defense industrial base with vertically integrated capabilities—from conceptual design to certified component production—particularly in propulsion, flight control, and structural integrity systems. As a small business entity headquartered in NUNICA, MI, BAKER ENGINEERING, LLC operates without federal certifications but maintains a focused presence in the defense supply chain through direct contract performance. Their geographic location supports logistics coordination with major military installations and defense contractors across the Great Lakes and Midwest regions.
