No, the Kushites did not invent hieroglyphs. Hieroglyphs were developed by the ancient Egyptians around 3200 BCE. The Kushites, who ruled the region of Nubia (present-day Sudan) from approximately 800 BCE to 350 CE, used a script known as Meroitic. Meroitic is a writing system that has not been fully deciphered and is considered distinct from hieroglyphs.
