Analyze Messages Obtained During Flight Jobs

665,068 open positions · Updated daily

In the era of data‑driven aviation, analyzing in‑flight messages is critical for safety, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. Airlines, airports, and defense contractors are expanding their data teams, driving a surge in demand for specialists who can unlock insights from ACARS, ADS‑B, and satellite telemetry.

Typical roles range from Flight Data Analyst to Aviation Data Scientist. Analysts sift through thousands of in‑flight messages, clean and transform raw telemetry, and build SQL or Python pipelines to detect anomalies. Data scientists apply machine‑learning models on ADS‑B streams, predict maintenance needs, and generate dashboards for flight operations.

Salary transparency is vital because in‑flight message analysts often work across multiple stakeholders—flight crews, maintenance teams, and regulatory bodies. Knowing the exact pay range helps candidates negotiate fair compensation and ensures that expertise in niche tools like OpenSky Network APIs, PyADS, and SAS is properly valued.
