The FAA has no avionics certification. The closest you'll find is the FCC's GROL, or General Radiotelephone Operators License, which is applicable to working on radar, transmitters, radio repair, etc. It's not specific to aviation, and applies equally to maritime equipment, and so forth. The GROL also enables you to supervise others performing that work.
