Air Traffic Systems Annotator – Expert

Air Traffic Systems Annotator – Expert (AI Training)

About The Role

Air traffic control communication is one of the most precise, high-stakes forms of human language — and AI needs experts like you to understand it. We're looking for aviation professionals and enthusiasts with real-world ATC knowledge to review and annotate pilot-to-tower audio, helping cutting-edge AI systems accurately interpret flight communications and safety signals.

This is a fully remote, flexible contract role where your specialised expertise directly shapes how AI understands one of the world's most critical communication domains.

What You'll Do

* Listen to and review real pilot-to-controller audio recordings

* Annotate ATC interactions, identifying key phrases, instructions, and safety-relevant signals

* Flag ambiguous, non-standard, or safety-critical communications

* Provide structured feedback on transcription accuracy and contextual meaning

* Evaluate AI-generated interpretations of ATC dialogue for correctness and clarity

* Work independently and asynchronously on your own schedule

Who You Are

* Background in aviation — whether as a pilot, air traffic controller, dispatcher, or aviation professional

* Strong familiarity with standard ATC phraseology and procedures

* Ability to identify nuanced meaning in fast-paced radio communications

* Detail-oriented with a high standard for accuracy

* Self-motivated and comfortable working independently on a remote basis

* No prior AI or data annotation experience required — we'll provide training

Nice to Have

* Experience with ICAO or regional ATC communication standards

* Familiarity with instrument flight rules (IFR) or busy airspace environments

* Background in aviation safety or incident reporting
