Aviation Communications Transcriber (ATC)

About The Role

We're building next-generation AI systems for aviation and autonomous flight — and we need people who actually understand the skies to help us do it.

This isn't generic transcription work. We're looking for pilots, air traffic controllers, student pilots, and serious aviation enthusiasts who can accurately transcribe real-world ATC and pilot radio communications. Your work will directly shape how AI understands aviation language, improving systems used in aviation safety and autonomy.

• Organization: Alignerr (Powered by Labelbox)
• Type: Hourly / Task-Based Contract
• Location: Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week
  
  

What You'll Do

• Transcribe real-world Air Traffic Control (ATC) ↔ pilot audio recordings with high accuracy
• Label speakers, callsigns, instructions, and responses clearly and consistently
• Capture aviation terminology, abbreviations, and standard phraseology correctly
• Work on task-based assignments at your own pace and schedule
• Meet quality and accuracy standards — precision is everything in this role
  
  

Who You Are

You're a natural fit if you are:

• A licensed pilot, student pilot, Air Traffic Controller, or aviation professional
• An aviation enthusiast who regularly listens to live ATC feeds
• Someone with a strong command of standard aviation radio phraseology
• Extremely detail-oriented and patient with audio work
• Comfortable working independently and managing your own schedule
  
  

You don't need to be a professional transcriptionist — but you do need to genuinely understand aviation communications.

Nice to Have

• Experience with LiveATC, Flightradar24, or similar aviation audio platforms
• Background in aviation dispatch, military aviation, or flight simulation
• Familiarity with ICAO or FAA phraseology standards
