Almost self-evidently, "certified" means "has a recognisable qualification in" - hence the similarity to the word "certificate".
You're defining "competent" which is arguably the word the OP should have used - maybe along with "talented", "experienced" and "creative".
There's not really a certificate to show engineering competency, maybe the closest is a tonmeister degree (can't see many hip hop engineers with one, not that every tonmeister can mix hiphop).
