Remote | Senior Aviation Maintenance Inspector — $70–$130/hour

We are sharing a specialised consulting opportunity for experienced aviation maintenance and inspection professionals with deep expertise in FAA-regulated maintenance, aircraft technical documentation, borescope engine inspection, composite structures, and operational procedures to contribute to advanced AI training and technical evaluation initiatives.

Selected professionals will review aviation maintenance materials, evaluate inspection findings, interpret operational documentation, and apply real-world regulatory judgement to ensure technical accuracy and procedural fidelity. No prior AI experience is required; hands-on aviation maintenance and inspection expertise is the primary qualification.

Key Responsibilities

Aircraft Maintenance Documentation Review

• Review aircraft maintenance manuals and related technical documentation
• Analyse illustrated parts catalogues and maintenance references
• Verify maintenance procedures for technical accuracy and completeness
• Identify unclear, incomplete, or potentially misleading instructions
• Apply practical maintenance experience to documentation review

Engine & Composite Inspection

• Evaluate borescope engine inspection imagery and reports
• Identify anomalies requiring further inspection or corrective action
• Review findings against applicable maintenance standards
• Assess composite structure inspection processes and results
• Apply professional judgement to inspection acceptance decisions

• Explain applicable regulatory considerations clearly

Flight Operations & Technical Interpretation

• Interpret approach plates and operational briefing materials
• Assess navigational and operational information for accuracy
• Identify inconsistencies affecting safe operational interpretation
• Apply aviation knowledge across maintenance and flight-operations contexts
• Provide technically grounded feedback on complex aviation scenarios

Technical Evaluation & Quality Development

• Produce clear written assessments of maintenance and inspection procedures
• Explain technical findings and recommendations verbally where required
• Review aviation-focused datasets for accuracy and realism
• Contribute subject-matter expertise to evaluation and validation workflows
• Support consistent quality standards across aviation-related project materials

Engagement Details

• Independent contractor engagement
• Fully remote
• U.S.-based professionals are preferred
• Compensation: $70–$130/hour
• Work will involve aviation maintenance review, inspection analysis, regulatory interpretation, and technical evaluation
• Assignments may include maintenance manuals, IPCs, borescope inspection materials, composite structures, and operational documentation
• Strong familiarity with FAA-regulated aviation environments is central to the engagement
• Contributors will be expected to provide clear reasoning supporting inspection and compliance conclusions
• Project materials and technical scenarios may vary depending on project requirements
