About The Role

We're building next-generation AI systems for aviation and autonomous flight --- and we need people who speak the language of the skies. If you understand ATC phraseology, callsigns, and radio communications, your expertise is exactly what this project requires.

This is not generic transcription work. It's a specialized, meaningful role where your aviation knowledge directly improves AI systems used in aviation safety and autonomy.

What You'll Do

  • Label speakers, callsigns, instructions, and responses accurately
  • Capture aviation terminology, abbreviations, and phraseology correctly
  • Work on task-based assignments at your own pace and schedule
  • Maintain high quality and accuracy standards --- this work directly impacts aviation AI systems

Who You Are

This role is ideal for:

  • Pilots, student pilots, Air Traffic Controllers, or aviation professionals
  • Aviation enthusiasts who regularly listen to ATC communications
  • Anyone with a strong command of aviation radio language and phraseology
  • Detail-oriented individuals who are patient and precise with audio work

You do not need to be a professional transcriptionist --- but you must understand aviation communications.

Key Requirements

  • Solid understanding of aviation phraseology and standard radio communications
  • Ability to accurately parse fast, noisy, real-world radio audio
  • Extreme attention to detail and commitment to accuracy
  • Reliable, self-motivated, and able to work independently

Nice to Have

  • Experience with LiveATC or similar ATC audio platforms
  • Familiarity with AI data labeling or transcription workflows

Why Join Us

  • Put your aviation expertise to work on cutting-edge AI projects with real-world impact
  • Fully remote and flexible --- work on your own schedule, from anywhere
  • Niche and rewarding --- your specialized knowledge is genuinely valued here
  • Top performers get priority access to more tasks and higher effective hourly rates
  • Freelance autonomy --- no meetings, no commute, no micromanagement
  • Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
