A number of things can cause a rotor to warp.

One cause is overtorqueing the lug bolts. Overtorqueing will immediately cause the rotor to warp.

Another is worn rotors. When too thin they can't absorb as much heat without getting too hot. How many miles on these rotors?

Anther less likely cause is poor breakin (or embedment) after a brake job. Ideally the rotor/pad assembly should be broken in by making a number of medium-to-high speed stops without coming to a complete stop.
