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.
