You have an advantage coming from an engineering background. PM is not rocket science. Talk to customers often, make sure there is a short feedback loop between customers/leads and product and sort things.

To get good at it though you need an understanding of everything that goes into a good product. So you need to have basic marketing, sales, analytics experience in addition to engineering.
