While not a certification, I find my Amateur Radio License to be one of my most valuable credentials besides my degrees. 1. This credential actually gives you a huge amount of privilege to use restricted radio spectra. 2. It teaches you a lot about how software, hardware, and wireless come together. 3. It's great for emergencies. 4. Opens up a lot of homebrew and DIY skill-sets for projects relating to IoT and smart devices. I put it on my resume, though, not everyone agrees with this practice. I will say, it's really fun to find other Hams in the industry, it makes it really easy to chit chat about a shared technical hobby.
