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 happening on the radio.

This is not generic transcription work. We're looking for pilots, air traffic controllers, aviation students, and dedicated enthusiasts who can accurately capture real-world ATC and pilot communications with precision. Your work will directly improve AI systems used in aviation safety and autonomy.
