About this role

Handshake is recruiting Commercial Pilot Professionals to contribute to an hourly, temporary AI research project—but there’s no AI experience needed. You’ll leverage your professional experience to evaluate what AI models produce in your field, assess content related to your field of work, and deliver clear, structured feedback that strengthens the model’s understanding of your workplace tasks and language. The Handshake AI opportunity runs year-round, with project opportunities opening periodically across different areas of expertise.

The position is remote and asynchronous; work independently from wherever you are. The hours are flexible, with no minimum commitment, but most average 5-20 hrs. The work includes developing prompts for AI models that reflect your field, and then evaluating responses.

Your placement into a project will be dependent on project availability—if you apply now and can’t work on this project, more will be available soon. You’re able to participate in asynchronous work in partnership with leading AI labs. This setup allows you to contribute flexibly to advancing AI in aviation.

You’ll learn new skills and contribute to how AI is used in your field. Projects match your expertise in pilot responsibilities like flight planning and aircraft monitoring. Ongoing opportunities ensure steady engagement year-round.
