Aviation Communications Transcriber (ATC)

Remote · USA Full-time New today

About The Role We're building next-generation AI systems for aviation and autonomous flight — and we need people who actually speak the language of the skies. If you understand aviation radio communications, this is a rare opportunity to put that knowledge to work on cutting-edge AI research. This is not generic transcription work. This role requires real familiarity with ATC phraseology, callsigns, and the fast-paced, noisy reality of real-world radio communications.

  • Complete task-based assignments on your own schedule
  • Maintain high quality and accuracy standards — your work directly impacts aviation AI safety

  • An aviation enthusiast who regularly listens to and understands ATC communications
  • Someone with strong familiarity with standard aviation radio phraseology
  • Extremely detail-oriented and patient with audio work
  • Able to work independently and meet accuracy standards consistently
