Tips on working towards a ML Engineer career

I’m currently in my last year of undergrad and I’ve been solely focused on doing SWE. Recently, I’ve been considering a Machine Learning Engineer career. As someone with no experience with data science or machine learning, how can I start building these skills?

What are some technologies and topics that I should know, and what are some good books where I can read about these topics?

Essentially looking for tips or a guide on how to get started on this career path. Thanks in advance
