About this role
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 not generic transcription work. This is a specialized, high-impact role for pilots, air traffic controllers, aviation students, and enthusiasts who can accurately capture the fast-paced, technical language of real-world ATC communications. Your work will directly shape how AI systems understand aviation safety-critical communications. Organization: Alignerr (Powered by Labelbox) Type: Hourly / Task-Based Contract Location: Remote Commitment: 10–40 hours/week What You'll Do Transcribe real-world Air Traffic Control (ATC) and pilot audio recordings with high accuracy Label speakers, callsigns, instructions, readbacks, and clearances Correctly capture aviation terminology, abbreviations, and standard phraseology Complete task-based assignments on your own schedule Maintain quality and accuracy standards — precision is everything in this role Who You Are You're a strong fit if you are: A pilot (student or certified), Air Traffic Controller, or aviation professional An aviation enthusiast who regularly listens to live or recorded ATC Someone with a solid understanding of ICAO/FAA radio phraseology and callsign conventions Extremely detail-oriented and patient with audio work Comfortable working independently on a flexible, task-based schedule You do not need to be a professional transcriptionist — but you do need to genuinely understand aviation communications. Nice to Have Experience with LiveATC, PilotEdge, VATSIM, or similar platforms Familiarity with different ATC environments (TRACON, Center, Tower, Ground) Background in aviation operations, dispatch, or flight simulation Why Join Us Work on cutting-edge AI projects in one of the most technically demanding domains Fully remote and flexible — work when it suits you Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and the satisfaction of meaningful work High-quality contributors get priority access to more tasks Contribute to AI that supports aviation safety and autonomy worldwide Potential for ongoing work and contract extension
