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 logged hours in the cockpit, worked a radar scope, or simply live on LiveATC, this is your opportunity to put that expertise to work in a meaningful way.

This is not generic transcription. This is specialized, high-stakes audio work that directly improves AI systems used in aviation safety and autonomy.

• 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 on flexible, task-based assignments at your own pace
• Consistently meet quality and accuracy benchmarks — precision is critical here

Who You Are

You're a strong fit if you are:

• A licensed pilot, student pilot, Air Traffic Controller, or aviation professional
• An aviation enthusiast with a solid grasp of ATC communications and radio phraseology
• Someone who regularly listens to live ATC feeds and understands what's being said
• Extremely detail-oriented and patient with noisy, fast-paced audio
• Reliable and self-motivated when working independently

You do not need to be a professional transcriptionist — but you do need to understand aviation radio communications.

Nice to Have

• FAA or ICAO knowledge and familiarity with standard phraseology
• Experience with LiveATC, ForeFlight, or similar aviation tools
• Background in aviation operations, dispatch, or flight instruction
