This simple answer took me hours to find. For those of you who don't have /etc/inittab the following worked for me. In

/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/[email protected]

change the line

ExecStart=-/sbin/getty 115200 %I

to

 ExecStart=-/sbin/getty -a USERNAME 115200 %I

I partially figured this out on my own from reading about getty in /etc/inittab, which led me to ExecStart on my system, and a quick google search led me to https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/42359/how-can-i-autologin-to-desktop-with-systemd which gave me the auto-login syntax of /sbin/getty.
