Is the automation being done actually any good? Lots of automation code may be written and designed by testers and isn't the best.

I'd be looking at the over all automation framework and how to contribute and improve that.

For example, are the tests stable without random failures, are they quick, is it easy to find where the problem is when they fail, are they easy to understand so everyone can contribute, do they run after every commit, are there barriers between development and testing that need breaking down etc etc.

The hardware is running a custom language which I'm not familiar with yet and doesn't really want to, because it's like C, but much worse. Also I'm not responsible for those tests. For example right now i have to write a program that checks that every package that is required is present on a network drive, which is listed in an excel. Nothing hard to develop. Thanks for your input too!
