Two senior Ford Motor Co. engineers have defected to crosstown rival Chrysler LLC, further evidence of Chrysler's efforts to fill its talent pool after its split from Germany's Daimler AG last August.

Susan Dehne and Ben Winter were both escorted off Ford's Dearborn campus last week after offering their resignations.

Winter had been the chief nameplate engineer on the 2008 Ford Taurus sedan. Dehne has held a number of senior engineering positions, including chief nameplate engineer for the Ford Explorer Sport Trac program
