All, The issue is explained and resolved. Found out that the node_exporter service was getting stopped by a puppet agent with a policy for removing node_exporter. So the issue is not caused by systemd or node_exporter but is caused by puppet. I have disabled puppet and the node_exporter service now keeps running.
