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 is a unique remote contract opportunity for pilots, air traffic controllers, and aviation enthusiasts to apply their expertise in a high-impact way. Your transcriptions of real-world ATC and pilot communications will directly shape the AI systems that power aviation safety and autonomy.

This is not generic transcription work. Aviation knowledge is essential — and that's exactly what makes your contribution valuable.
