He has played with the German national junior team on several occasions. He first played in the 2006 IIHF World U18 Championships, and the 2007 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships.[2] Playing in the Division 1A pool at the 2008 World Junior, Pielmeier was named the tournament's top goaltender,[3] as Germany won the title, earning promotion back to the A pool for 2009.

Pielmeier was selected by the San Jose Sharks in the third round, 83rd overall at the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, but was traded to the Anaheim Ducks organization in 2009.[4] He turned professional in 2009, starting with the Bakersfield Condors of the ECHL. He scored a goal for the Condors during the 2009–10 season,[5] becoming the 10th goaltender in ECHL history to do so.[2] He finished the season fifth amongst rookie goaltenders in goals against average and appeared in the 2010 ECHL All-Star Game.[2] Pielmeier was promoted to the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League for the 2009–10 season.[6] Pielmeier was recalled by the Ducks on January 22, 2011 .[7] He was traded along with defenceman Kurtis Foster, on December 12, 2011, to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for defenceman Mark Fraser and forward Rod Pelley.[8]
