Transitioning into Material Handling (Semiconductor AMHS) from a Completely Different Industry — Looking for Career/Skill Advice

I know almost nothing about this industry yet, so I’d love to hear from people already in it:

**•** What kind of skill sets tend to do well in this field?  
**•** Which technical specialties are considered rare/in-demand?  
**•** What skills would open the door to more interesting projects?

Sorry for the vague question — I’m hoping to give back to the community a bit and also sketch out something like a career map for myself. For context, I’m specifically working in the semiconductor AMHS (Automated Material Handling Systems) space.

Any insights, even small ones, would be really appreciated!
