Can I become a Mechatronics & Robotics technician with an associates in mechanical engineering?

I work in a blue badge site and MRA positions are all first come first serve I’ve tried and didn’t get in the job posting was down in a day

I was wondering instead of hoping to get into MRA could I go directly into an RME position with just an associates in mechanical engineering and no experience? They say they require 2 years of experience but I don’t know I feel like eventually I’ll get into the MRA program but I don’t want it to interfere with my college classes I’m not currently in college but I start in august I’ll be done with my associates in about 1.5 years Any advice?
