Aviation Communications Transcriber (ATC)

Alignerr
Denver, CO Contractor
POSTED ON 6/6/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/4/2026
About The Role

We're building next-generation AI systems for aviation and autonomous flight — and we need people who actually understand the skies to help us do it.

This is a unique remote contract opportunity for pilots, air traffic controllers, and aviation enthusiasts to apply their expertise in a high-impact way. Your transcriptions of real-world ATC and pilot communications will directly shape the AI systems that power aviation safety and autonomy.

This is not generic transcription work. Aviation knowledge is essential — and that's exactly what makes your contribution valuable.

  • 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 precision
  • Label speakers, callsigns, clearances, instructions, and read-backs accurately
  • Capture aviation terminology, abbreviations, and standard phraseology correctly
  • Complete task-based assignments independently on your own schedule
  • Maintain high accuracy and quality standards — critical to the integrity of the project

Who You Are

You're a strong fit if you are:

  • A current or former pilot, student pilot, or Air Traffic Controller
  • An aviation professional or serious enthusiast who regularly consumes ATC audio
  • Deeply familiar with standard aviation radio communications and ICAO/FAA phraseology
  • Extremely detail-oriented with patience for focused audio work
  • Self-motivated and reliable when working independently

You don't need a background in professional transcription — but you do need to understand aviation communications.

Nice to Have

  • Experience monitoring live ATC on platforms like LiveATC or similar
  • Familiarity with specific airspace types (Class B, C, D, oceanic, etc.)
  • Background in aviation safety, dispatch, or flight operations

Why Join Us

  • Fully remote and flexible — work on your own schedule
  • Contribute to cutting-edge AI projects with real-world aviation impact
  • Niche work that rewards genuine aviation expertise
  • Top performers receive priority access to expanded task volume
  • Freelance perks: autonomy, variety, and global collaboration
  • Potential for ongoing contract extension
