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 what's being said on the radio. This is a rare opportunity to put your aviation knowledge to work on cutting‑edge AI research, from anywhere in the world.

• Type:
  Hourly / Task‑Based Contract
• Location:
  
  Fully Remote
• Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

• Transcribe real‑world ATC and pilot audio recordings with precision.
• Label speakers, callsigns, clearances, instructions, and read‑backs accurately.
• Capture aviation‑specific terminology, abbreviations, and standard phraseology correctly.
• Work on flexible, task‑based assignments at your own pace.
• Maintain high accuracy standards — quality is critical in aviation AI.

This role is ideal for:

• Pilots (student, private, commercial, or ATP)
• Air Traffic Controllers (current or former)
• Aviation professionals — dispatchers, flight ops, military aviation personnel
• Dedicated aviation enthusiasts who regularly listen to ATC audio and understand radio communications.

You don't need a transcription background — but you do need a solid command of aviation phraseology and the ear to catch fast, noisy, real‑world radio communications.

• Genuine familiarity with ATC and pilot radio communication norms.
• The ability to decode garbled or fast‑paced transmissions that would confuse a general transcriptionist.
• Extreme attention to detail — a missed callsign or wrong instruction matters here.
• Patience and consistency when working through audio tasks.
• Self‑motivation to work independently and meet quality benchmarks.

• Experience with LiveATC, scanner monitoring, or simulator flying.
• Familiarity with ICAO or FAA phraseology standards.
• Multi‑engine, IFR, or professional aviation background.
• Experience in any previous transcription or annotation work.

• Meaningful work — your transcriptions directly improve AI systems designed for aviation safety and autonomy.
• Fully remote and flexible — work when and where it suits you.
• Niche advantage — your aviation knowledge is genuinely rare and valued here.
• Performance rewards — high‑quality contributors get priority access to more work and stronger effective earnings.
• Cutting‑edge exposure — contribute to advanced AI research at the intersection of aviation and machine learning.
• Global, collaborative community — work alongside other domain experts from around the world.
• Potential for ongoing work — strong performers are first in line for extended contracts.
