How much academia is going to affect my career if I want the ML/DL/CV engineer path?

So I am outside US junior electrical and computer engineering student who is currently studying ML/DL/CV and see myself doing that in future. But I don't want to do PhD and want to go straight to the indsutry to gain experience. How much not having PhD is going to affect my career in those fields, if we assume that I will finish my bachelors and get masters degree in DS/ML/DL/CV etc.?
