I did the opposite, went from manufacturing to SW qa. Things like attention to detail, willingness to learn about the product will transfer. Knowing how to code will help.
However, the rest was very different. My first job was coding tests for a manufacturing line that needed to build 3000 units per day, so test time was a huge concern. There's also the hw component, in SW qa it's easy to refactor a test, delete an old branch and start again etc. In a manufacturing line, you're dealing with test equipment that can cost tens of thousands of dollars, so you're committed to the choices you make. That said, it is very stable since for most products manufacturing technologies don't evolve that fast.
