Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist, not an inventor (although he did once work in a patent office). While he did not invent things himself, his theoretical work was essential for a number of inventions that other people invented, including the atomic bomb and the laser.
Although Einstein is most famous for his work in physics, he did invent and patent a refrigerator. It was his only patented invention.
In 1901 he accepted a position in the patent office where most of his work is said to come from. His free time gave him a lot of thinking time.
Albert Einstein went to collage for physics and then became a patent clerk in Zurich. He worked 6 days a week and could work on his theory of relativity along with doing this mentally unchallenging job.
Albert Einstein mostly worked in New Jersey.

Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist, not an inventor (although he did once work in a patent office). While he did not invent things himself, his theoretical work was essential for a number of inventions that other people invented, including the atomic bomb and the laser.
He never worked for the patent office in his life. He has many patents to his name but the patents came form work in his laboratories.

Albert Einstein did his work in labs.
His fame was gained when he came to america, to work on the famous "E=MC squared" Albert Einstein did a lot of his important early work while he was a patent clerk in an office in Bern, Switzerland. This includes his work on General relativity and the energy properties of light, i.e. photo-electric effect. It would be an oversimplification to say that the only work that made him famous was the work he did while in Bern.
Albert Einstein mostly worked in New Jersey.
Albert Einstein did not work on the atomic bomb.
Albert Einstein completed his formal education in Europe and was never a student at Princeton University. He had a faculty position at the Institute for Advanced Study, an independent institution that leased office space from Princeton University in those days. Einstein was never an employee of Princeton University.
