Your process starts at boot time...as expected.

You then manually kill it, how? Using the systemtl command?

You then expect it to automatically restart? What leads you to expect that?

systemd will not restart a failed service by default, because there are many situations where that would be very bad. *You must explicitly configure it to do so using the "Restart=" directive in your unit file. *See 'man systemd.service' for the details.

Restart=always
RestartSec=1

add the two lines in [Service] and it will exactly do what you want
