No, he was a pacifist and worked on no war projects. His only involvement with the atomic bomb was to sign a letter to FDR that Leo Szilard had written, warning that the Nazis might make one first.

The atomic bomb was not invented in the US or by Einstein, it was invented in London, England in 1933 by one of Einstein's friends - Leo Szilard while crossing a street and patented by him in 1934. What Szilard wanted when he invented the atomic bomb was only to provide a better way to transmute elements than was then available, but at the same time he did recognize its potential for a large energy release which might make it useful as a weapon.

However it took 12 more years, many scientists & engineers & technicians, and an enormous investment in new industrial infrastructure before the first atomic bombs could be built.
