WORK HISTORY
Suspension Development Engineer @Astemo Ltd.
Farmington Hills, MI, US
Suspension development engineer focused on ride and handling performance through a combined approach of physical damper tuning, vehicle testing, and simulation-based modeling.• Perform mechanical disassembly, modification, and reassembly of suspension dampers to adjust internal valving and tune compression and rebound damping characteristics.• Conduct ride and handling evaluations through controlled vehicle maneuvers to assess suspension performance and guide iterative tuning decisions.• Develop and maintain datasets documenting damper configurations, test conditions, and vehicle response metrics to support traceable suspension development.• Utilize MATLAB and Simulink with advanced toolboxes to process test data, characterize damper behavior, and generate models for use in vehicle simulation environments.• Operate suspension development equipment including shock dynamometer test benches and VI-Grade Compact Full Spectrum driving simulators to evaluate component and system performance.• Interface directly with OEM engineering teams, delivering technical reports and presentations summarizing testing activities, results, and tuning recommendations.• Support damper technology development through CAD modeling and engineering drawing submissions for test fixtures and experimental tuning components.

SKILLS
ABOUT DANE MORISON
I develop suspension systems that leave drivers feeling confident—and smiling.With a background in mechanical engineering and mechatronics (B.S. Mechanical Engineering, M.S. Mechatronic Systems Engineering), I work across the full development spectrum: hands-on hardware tuning, vehicle testing, and simulation-driven analysis.As a suspension development engineer, I focus on ride and handling performance through damper tuning, shock dyno testing, and structured vehicle evaluations. I pair this hands-on work with tools like MATLAB and Simulink to analyze test data and build models that support virtual development.I take pride in being an engineer who works both at the desk and inside the vehicle—turning wrenches, collecting data, and translating real-world feedback into better engineering decisions.
