What, are we job searching at the same time or something?

I don't get all the acronyms you used, so I can just do the best I can.

I guess the question is where do you want to be in 5 years? 10? Does your current job get you where you want to go? This is the most important concern, at least for me. My current (soon to not be job) cannot provide the path forward I need so I am moving on.

If the pay at the "office" job is better and you get exposed to all the legal and licensing aspects of robotics shipment and dangerous goods handling, well now that's a resume stand out. I don't think it would be possible to do the new role without being WAY up to date with new technology as it comes online, so I don't think you lose anything there.

At some point you gotta man up and get into management. It's the only way up the career ladder.

If this happened before and something went sour, I would try and make sure this is a REAL offer, not a suggestion.

I think it's a go in my eyes, but in the end you need to feel good about what you move on.

Best I can do.

Good luck and PM me if you need a sounding board my friend.
