The buyer question
Which decisions define the Eindhoven design mandate — industrial design at the documented Brainport manufacturing scale, or interaction and service design — and which product outcomes will the candidate personally own?
What the public record shows
The frame is the verified Brainport record: the Brainport Industries Campus's waste-free, green-electricity operations document the advanced-manufacturing base designs ship into; Eindhoven's design cluster serves that base.
Campus facts say nothing about any Eindhoven employer's candidate pool, wages or vacancy duration.
What changes in this market
Eindhoven mandates split by discipline. Industrial mandates prove themselves in designs manufactured. Interaction mandates prove themselves in products shipped. Service mandates prove themselves in services launched.
