If you already have any engineering or computer background, you could probably waltz into the lobby of the nearest semiconductor manufacturer and ask for your badge and desk right now.
Finding people who are willing to do proper root cause analysis and not make wild assumptions about everything is pretty much the only important concern for onboarding in most manufacturing*system roles.
You will learn on the job. Go in with an open mind and try to remain humble. Pay will suck at first, but these domains are pretty much limitless in your career potential. I knew of some working in the photolithography area that were virtually classified as a nation state asset. Make yourself that important. You won't get that from college or a certification program. You get that by working with real tools in a real factory and learning about all the strange emergent properties of these systems as they come together.
