How much do time study engineer jobs pay per hour?

As of Aug 16, 2026, the average hourly pay for time study engineer in the United States is $32.26, according to ZipRecruiter salary data. Most workers in this role earn between $20.91 and $40.87 per hour, depending on experience, location, and employer.

What is a time study engineer?

Time Study Engineers are professionals who analyze and evaluate the time required to complete various tasks within a production or operational process. Their primary goal is to identify areas for improvement, increase efficiency, and help set industry standards for task completion. They use techniques such as time-motion studies, process mapping, and data analysis to observe workflow and recommend changes. Time Study Engineers often work closely with production staff, supervisors, and management to implement more efficient work methods and optimize resource allocation.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a time study engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Time Study Engineer, you need a solid background in industrial engineering, proficiency in time and motion study methodologies, and typically a bachelor’s degree in engineering or a related field. Experience with data collection tools, statistical analysis software, and process mapping systems like MOST or MTM is important. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help you interpret data and collaborate with production teams. These competencies are crucial for optimizing processes, improving productivity, and ensuring operational efficiency in manufacturing environments.

What is the difference between Time Study Engineer vs Industrial Engineer?

AspectTime Study EngineerIndustrial Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Engineering or related field, certification in time study methodsBachelor's in Industrial Engineering or related field, often with certifications in process improvement
Work EnvironmentManufacturing plants, production lines, assembly facilitiesFactories, offices, consulting firms, and various industries
Employer & Industry UsageManufacturing companies focusing on efficiency and productivityBroad industry use including manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and service sectors

While both roles focus on improving efficiency, a Time Study Engineer primarily conducts time and motion studies to analyze work processes, whereas an Industrial Engineer applies broader systems optimization techniques. The Time Study Engineer's work is more specialized in time measurement, while the Industrial Engineer's scope includes process design, quality, and resource management.

What are some common challenges faced by time study engineers when collecting and analyzing data on the shop floor?

Time Study Engineers often encounter challenges such as resistance from employees being observed, variations in work methods, and ensuring data accuracy amidst a dynamic production environment. Building trust with operators and clearly communicating the purpose of time studies can help mitigate apprehension. Additionally, Time Study Engineers must be detail-oriented and adaptable, as they frequently adjust their approach to account for process changes, unexpected delays, or equipment variability. Collaborating closely with production teams and supervisors is key to collecting reliable data and implementing effective process improvements.

Continuous Improvement / Industrial Engineering Internship

Mezzetta

American Canyon, CA

Internship

Re-posted 13 days ago

Job description

Program Objective

The Continuous Improvement / Industrial Engineering Intern will develop hands-on experience in manufacturing performance analysis and process optimization by learning and applying Industrial Engineering methods focused on time study, cycle time, takt time, and line balancing.  Throughout the duration of this 16 week program, the Intern will support Mezzetta's effort to improve packaging line performance, reduce bottlenecks, and identify opportunities for efficiency and labor optimization.

By the end of the internship, the Intern will:

  • Understand and apply time study and work measurement techniques.
  • Calculate and interpret cycle time, takt time, and OEE-related metrics.
  • Identify bottlenecks and develop data-based process improvement proposals.
  • Demonstrate practical Lean problem-solving in a real production environment.
  • Present technical findings and communicate improvement ideas effectively.

16 Week Program Outline

Week 1 Focus Area - Orientation & Training

  • Onboarding: Safety, GMP, food manufacturing overview
  • Overview of Mezzetta packaging lines
  • Introduction to Lean concepts and time study methods

Week 2 Focus Area - Process Familiarization

  • Observe selected packaging lines in operation
  • Map process flow (from depalletizing to case pack)
  • Identify key workstations and operator roles

Week 3 - Focus Area - Time Study Training & Data Collection Plan

  • Learn time study methods (manual stopwatch or digital)
  • Define cycle elements and observation approach
  • Create a data collection sheet and sampling plan

Weeks 4 & 5 Focus Area - Execute Time Studies

  • Collect detailed cycle time data for each station
  • Record operator performance, idle time, micro-stops
  • Validate repeatability and accuracy of measurements

Week 6 Focus Area - Data Analysis:  Cycle & Takt Time

  • Calculate average cycle time per station
  • Compute line takt time vs customer demand
  • Identify imbalances and bottlenecks

Week 7 Focus Area - Line Balancing & Optimization Opportunities

  • Use data to evaluate workload distribution
  • Simulate potential line balance improvements
  • Identify waste (waiting, motion, overprocessing)

Weeks 8 & 9 Focus Area - Test Improvement Hypotheses

  • Work with operators and supervisors to trial small changes (layout, sequence, method, job rotation)
  • Measure new cycle times and validate improvements

Week 10 Focus Area - Optimization Documentation

  • Standardize improved methods
  • Develop or update standard work charts and SOPs

Weeks 11 - 16 Focus Area - Sustainability & Handoff

  • Train operators or leads on improved process
  • Create visual management aids (takt board, KPI chart)

Week 16 Focus Area - Final Presentation

  • Present "Process Optimization Findings" to CI and Operations leadership:
    - What was studied
    - Data-driven findings
    - Implemented improvements and quantified benefits
    - Future recommendations

Requirements

  • Must be currently enrolled as a junior or senior in college and studying Electrical, Mechanical, Process Engineering or similarly manufacturing related discipline
  • Must be able to be on site in American Canyon (flexible on hours/schedule)

Familiarity with the following is a plus:

  • Stopwatch or digital time study tools (Zebra, MODAPTS, etc.)
  • Excel for data analysis and charts
  • Line balancing diagrams
  • Standard Work Sheet and Takt Board templates
