Go for it if you want. In our company there are roughly 20 ex engineers who became pilots.
Had a B1 license myself and as 'Fuel Nozzle' said in the post above it does make the groundschool and sims a bit easier.
But I have also to admit that I do indeed sometimes miss the engineering. Having said that lying on the apron on a windy day with snow falling is not my favourite way to spend my day.
Both jobs have their good and not so good sides to them.
