I have a BS & MS in Mechanical Engineering, but I have spent the last 15+ years in Software. I first got my start learning to code on the side, but eventually made my way into Product Management. I would look for software engineering companies in the ME space think CAD, PLM, FEA type software companies and look for jobs in PM or even customer success and pre-sales engineering. Some of the best PM's that I've hired come from the customer success groups.
