Job description

At VSPARTICLE we are passionate about innovation in nanotechnology for meaningful purposes. We are a fast-growing scale up where you can contribute to revolutionize materials development, enabling researchers to find solutions for some of the largest planetary challenges. From our office in Delft, the Netherlands, we designed and developed a portfolio of Nanoparticle Generation and -Printing systems. Our current systems are research tools, allowing university researchers and R&D teams across the world to create new materials 10 times faster as with conventional systems! These new material combinations form the basis of revolutionary solutions for highly relevant applications, such as green hydrogen production and gas sensors. Our tools are also the robust foundation for self-driving labs. Beyond developing next generation research modules, we are also working towards an industrial scale machinery system to target the electrolyzer market.

We are looking for a System Administrator (IT) to join the organization and support operations in various tasks and projects as we grow and scale the company.

  • Assist in the deployment, configuration, and maintenance of Windows Server and Linux-based application servers.
  • Help monitor, patch, and upgrade the Windows Server and Linux infrastructure to ensure system reliability.
  • Collaborate in the configuration and management of hybrid environments, including cloud-based services (Microsoft 365, AWS, etc.) and on-premise systems.
    Assist in the configuration and management of network devices (routers, switches, firewalls, VPNs).
  • Assist in the deployment and management of IT assets, such as desktop systems, laptops, and peripheral devices for employees and lab scientists.
  • Help manage and scale both Windows Server and Linux-based environments.
  • Support networking and security infrastructure, assisting in the implementation of firewalls, VPNs, and secure network setups.
  • Collaborate with senior engineers in troubleshooting, patching, and upgrading systems and applications.
  • Assist with monitoring and improving cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, Office 365).
  • Participate in security audits, ensuring proper policies are followed and data protection best practices are in place.
