About the Role
Air traffic control communication is one of the most specialized and high-stakes forms of spoken language in the world. We're building AI systems designed to understand and support aviation safety — and we need people with a sharp ear and a passion for aviation to help us get there.
As an Aviation Communications Transcriber, you'll work with real-world ATC and pilot audio recordings, converting them into accurate, structured transcriptions that train next-generation AI models. This is a rare opportunity to turn your enthusiasm for aviation into meaningful, flexible freelance work.
