We're building next-generation AI for aviation and autonomous flight — and we need people who actually understand the skies. This isn't generic transcription work. It's a specialized, high-impact role for pilots, controllers, and aviation enthusiasts who can accurately capture the fast-paced, technical language of real Air Traffic Control communications.
