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. If you've spent time in a cockpit, in a control tower, or just glued to LiveATC, this is your chance to put that knowledge to work in a meaningful way.

This is not generic transcription work. This is specialized, high-impact audio labeling that directly shapes how AI understands the language of aviation.

Organization: Alignerr (Powered by Labelbox) Type: Hourly / Task-Based Contract Location: Fully Remote Commitment: 10–40 hours/week

What You'll Do

Transcribe real-world Air Traffic Control (ATC) and pilot audio recordings with precision Label speakers, callsigns, clearances, readbacks, and instructions accurately Capture aviation-specific terminology, abbreviations, and standard phraseology correctly Work through task-based assignments at your own pace and schedule Maintain high accuracy and quality standards — this work directly supports aviation safety AI

Who You Are

A pilot, student pilot, air traffic controller, or aviation professional An aviation enthusiast who regularly listens to ATC and understands standard phraseology Extremely detail-oriented — you notice when something sounds off Patient and focused when working with fast, noisy, real-world radio audio Self-motivated and able to meet quality benchmarks independently

You don't need to be a professional transcriptionist — but you do need to genuinely understand aviation radio communications.
