Not really a concept of fallen angels as such, no. Angels/messengers/whatnot are invariably creatures God's will with specific taks and the concept of them rebelling is ludicrous. Fallen angel? Rebellion? Ask a Jew about that and we'll look blankly at you. It's like your toaster refusing to toast bread not because it's broken but because it doesn't want to.
Although...again...Jews are notorious for talking this stuff to death and I wouldn't swear that there doesn't exist a branch of Judaism somewhere that doesn't believe that. Ask 2 rabbis, get (at least) 3 opinions. (As someone (perhaps batyatoon?) put it, we invented rules lawyering!)
